Post 1: Intro

This is my vent, my outlet, my shrink. Here is where I dump my thoughts. Here, life happens and sometimes you are left with no parachute.

That is the "idea" of this this blog. I, like many men out there, are not willing to talk about our problems. Why you ask? Cause we are trained not to feel or show emotion. This is "weakness". To complicate the problem even more, I am a former US Marine.

I tried many names for this blog, like "Crazy Life" and "My Shrink". Thankfully those were taken. I had to really dig deep and find a title that conveys just how I feel, that wasn't already taken. Life, I thought, was a constant free fall. There was only one direction and that is down. Ultimately we all have the same end, death.

In the past I felt like I had some control, like I had a parachute and I had a destination landing zone. Now, I'm out of chutes.
