Another shot.

I have always struggled with the idea of journaling or blogging. In general, I find myself easily distracted (thank you A.D.D.) and then I'm left with half a paragraph rambling about DC's latest film fuck up or how much I love the works of Ralph Vaughan Williams. This is my re-attempt at starting up a blog again. Unlike a lot of blogs (near as I can tell) this will not have a central focus like "Changing Your Life In 5 Easy Steps Using The Power Of Kale" or "AMC Crossover Fan Fiction." (though I would like to explore the love triangle between Gus Fring, Don Draper, and Maggie Greene) "The View From The Top of the Fence" will be the place for me to express my musings, struggles, stressors, things that make me happy, things that make me sad, things that should be said, and more often than not things that shouldn't be.

My main goals in this are:

• To get out my thoughts and feelings on school, weight loss, and life in general.
• To allow myself a creative outlet and a place to put down coherent thoughts on whatever is currently on my mind. 
• To use this blog as a distraction from things I shouldn't be doing (eating mostly) as a constructive alternative to just sitting around and absorbing media as I have been.

These are off the top of my head and subject to change. I have no clue about a writing schedule and have no guarantees about length of posts. Further, there is a possibility I may edit and post certain papers I was assigned for school if they are particularly interesting or I want to revisit. 

Anything in parentheses will be what I'll refer to as A.D.D. asides, little bits of sentences that aren't a full thought unto themselves, but rather snide reactions or scraps that don't necessarily have relevance to the post. ALSO, I swear and will do so in this blog. If this is meant to be some sort of exhibitonist journal therapy, I am not going to bother censoring myself or making it "family friendly" because it is a taxing process to replace words and if I feel behooved to say "fuck" well dammit I'll say "fuck."

One final thought, I do not plan to make any of my posts form to the desires or expectations of readers. This is first and foremost for me and if you like that, awesome! Let's be friends. If you don't, then go do something else with your life besides complain that you don't like it. I'm sure Jenna Marbles has recently posted something more to your liking.
