A Singular Sensation

If one experience or life change results from you writing your blog, what would you like it to be?

I dunno what, at the moment, would make me stop wanting to write my blog. I do not write for anyone hence this blog is mainly for me and anyone who happens to like it and come around to read my stuff and look at my pics and videos, is just icing on top of the already delicious chocolate cake.

Having said the only experience that I wouldn’t mind me not writing my blog, that would be finding the love of my life and being with her. Being together, in love and spending a lot of our free time together – who will have time to blog? Well I still would have time or make the time but I could see myself not wanting to sit in front of my laptop and spend hours typing up stuff if I could instead be with my woman.

Either that or an extremely heavy social life wouldn’t be a problem. But then how would I let people know about what’s happening in my life?
