Hello

Where do I begin? ‘Hello’, I suppose is always a nice way to start.

So hello reader, you’ve either clicked on a link I posted or somehow stumbled your way onto my blog.
Welcome. Not sure why you’re here other than you must have some voyeuristic tendencies and want to read some slices of life from yours truly, even though chances are 50/50 that we actually know each other in real life. And if you do have the fortune/misfortune of actually knowing me in person, this is going to be hella awkward.

So brief introduction and overview of who I am and what I hope to “accomplish” with this blog. My name is Jourdyn, yes I know it’s fancy and unique. Thanks, mom. If you can spell it correctly after I meet you I’ll love you forever. Literally one of my biggest pet peeves in life is when people can’t spell my name, or nickname correctly. (It’s Jordy, not Jourdy...if you’re going to add the U might as well add the N and stop being a lazy asshat).

I’m a 20-something millennial trying to find my way in the world and find some purpose in life.

The concept of this blog is pretty egotistical, I’m going to be 100% real with you. I’ve written in journals since I was about 10 or 11, and I just recently had a brilliant thought...why don’t I blog about this? I literally thought of this idea about an hour ago as I’m trying to get ready for work.

So what I plan to do with this blog is to look back at some really old journal entries, write them up here for your enjoyment and then reflect on them. This blog is really a journey of my life in reflecting on how far I’ve come (or haven’t come) in life. I really wasn’t lying when I said this was going to be 100% about me, and my self-absorbed ass...guess that fits with how older generations view my generation...damn, I hate feeding into stereotypes; but sometimes you need to look back to see how far you’ve come.

This blog is going to be raw, it’s going to be real, and it’s going to be messy. Did I mention that it is also probably going to be awkward? Oh yes, hella awkward because I am mildly awkward myself and if you know me personally then I’m sorry and will apologize in advance because chances are REAL good that I’ve written about you. ...Another reason why you’re probably reading this because you’re just as self-absorbed as me...High-five.

The only thing I plan on changing is the names of the people I’ve written about just to protect them as being an “innocent bystander” who has been written into my life unknowingly.

Starting out I plan to go as far back as I can with my journal entries, but as I was rushing through them I realized that I was not consistent at ALL in keeping up with writing every day...something that has literally followed me my entire life, and that I’m really trying to work on.

I can’t promise nor guarantee that I’ll be able to write this blog every single day. I write in my personal journal every day because that’s my personal goal and that is for my own sanity. I’m using this blog more so for entertainment value and to see if anything will come from it. (I'm looking at you Hollywood. Call me.) But I will do the best that I can to at least update this a few times a week.

That being said, I do appreciate your feedback. Good or bad (as long as the bad is constructive) bring it on. I’m a sensitive soul though so be kind. Rewind.

Disclaimer: This should go without saying, but I feel the need to write this anyways. This blog will contain adult language and mature subject matter. So if the word FUCK bothers you...best move on. But if you're a human and understand that humans are a weird, awkward, sometimes smelly species and you're morbidly curious as to what happens in day to day life of another random human on this planet, well then welcome!
