I am “in transition” which nowadays means unemployed. But to me, it means more. I have decided to take this opportunity to not just find a new job, but to transition into a new way of life. And I want to do something drastic.

I want to capture my “reinvention” by writing about it for a few reasons. First, to keep my sanity. Keep? Maybe “become sane” would be a better choice of words. Or perhaps, insanity better suits me. Where am I going with this? Iiiiii donnnnnn’t knowwww! (do I sound like Pee Wee?) What I DO know is that (unfortunately teachers and psychiatrists are right about this…damn those writing pushers!) writing is therapeutic for me, helps me stay focused and helps me remember what I have accomplished (kind of like how writing a resume after years of not looking for a job helped me realize what impressive, although not always enjoyable, experiences I have had).

The second reason for blogging about my “reinvention” is that it may be entertaining to you (or worse, educational). And there is always that fantasy that it will make me so popular that it will bring in enough money to take care of my incredible wife and 5 kids.

And the third reason I am writing is to share my creativity which is something that I have not tapped into enough in the past.  I have been told by a friend or two that I am talented in a number of different areas and I am starting to believe them…and I am wondering if you will believe them too.  Here goes nothing so hold on because we’re going for a ride.
