My name is Travis.
I've started up this blog to hone some writing skill, read interesting things, and hopefully write interesting things. This is my first one, so I've decided to introduce myself. I'm not the quintessential writer who mopes around all day drinking bad coffee and getting "inspired." Nay, I'm quite the opposite of a moper. I love life, and live every minute I can. I like to read and re-read things I've written down. Like anyone I suppose, I'm my own worst critic. I haven't been actively writing lately, so it may take me some time to find my legs and get some traction on this thing.
I'm going to write about life. That seems most interesting to me. And since I'm first a Christian, I will take a Christian perspective. I won't look at the world objectively from every point of view, I will look at the world from my point of view. The goal is to make observations, cleverly worded observations, and just plain write. I don't want to have an agenda. I'm entirely honest, which can be refreshing or shackling, I'm not sure which.
I've titled this one Shiners and One-Liners because at the time of this writing I have my first black eye. I got it playing volleyball in the park. It was getting dark and I collided with a rather bony body part (elbow maybe?). Its exciting because I've never had a shiner. I've never been in a fight or really experienced pain. Its been smooth sailing thus far and I'm elated about stepping out of my box. I'll try not to trip on my way out :D. Also, I hope to make you laugh. I hope this blog is refreshingly quaint and not too heavy on the agenda side of things. I won't try to promote anything I don't buy into whole-heartedly. How's that for an agreement?
Keep reading, I've got lots of ideas to come. And I have lots of fun titles to put stories to! Enjoy!
