The First Song

Hello world. I'm William, I think. I'm entering the "blogosphere" and I am scared to death. This is the first of many of these "songs" I'll be writing to let the world keep tabs on the life of an unemployed, depressed, self deprecating, hopelessly romantic, slightly underwhelming, and sorta talented 20 years old. And yes, I am all of those things...for the most part. If you want to know more about me, check out my Facebook which also happens to hold my first few musings about the world in Facebook "note" form. I'll give you a short introduction in case you don't want to hop over seven pages to the old FB.

I'm 20, I'm black, and I'm a dancer. That's it.

Kidding. I was born in Cleveland, Ohio (go brownies!) and I am a "student-in-waiting" at Wright State University. Why waiting? Well, I'm "waiting" to get my financial aid back so I can go back to school. I have often been described as an Oreo and not because I look or taste like a Nabisco snack cookie. I am not mixed, but being brought up the way I was, attending a Montessori school where I was taught by a very sweet,loving, and wonderful white woman, I ended up sounding and acting like a cross between Carlton from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and Mike Tirico from ESPN.


In the past couple of months have sort of fallen of the face of the earth, as a friend so eloquently put it. So now in my first attempt to put my life back together, i have started this blog so that the world can watch as some one who has completely fallen in to the hole of semi-depression (doctors pulled the trigger to early and called it that but backed off in later sessions) and near non-existence (yeah I thought about it) is going to try to put himself back together again. Each Day, you get to see (or read rather) what it's like to be me. From all the crap(sic shit) with my friends and family(there's a large amount), to the happier times, which I swear come along from time to time. So, If your willing to listen, I have a song to sing. And I think it's worth hearing.
