100 is a nice, full number in my estimation, a number that often stands for completion, very finite in its recognition. But I don't think I will recognize this milestone in that manner, instead I choose to view 100 as more of a speed bump than a destination. Today I post my 100th blog entry, isn't that something, I remember when I started this twisted compilation of my thoughts, emotions, and views. Who knew where it would go, who knew that my little blog would be viewed by every continent and over 4 thousand people.
Since I started putting my thoughts out there for all to view I have gone through some monumental changes. A new place, a new address, a new city or two, a new outlook on life and all it has to offer. My 100th anniversary is certainly a special one, today I stand as a man that knows what he is and what he is not. 100 marks a time and place that signifies growth, resolution, atonement, and love. Not angry but knowledgeable, not restless but content "no matter what my state". I come to you now, not as a man that thinks he has it all figured out but as a man wise enough to know he doesn't know shit and the best he can do is to be open to the experience and honest with his feelings. 100 huh, I'll take that; we have been on this journey together, you and I... Experiencing all of life's battles and pitfalls, giving each other the space to grow, to learn and to become who we were destined to be.
With this blog I offer you a platform to experience the soul of a young black man that has never met his dad, has a very unique relationship with his mother, and is the father to a beautiful little girl. I welcome your comments, thoughts and opinions; please feel free to offer responses to this post, previous ones, and all others to come. I thank you for reading and supporting my blog and I wish you all, as well as myself a Happy 100th.
