One day I want to own a bar.
Anybody who has ever spent more than fifteen minutes with me knows that my only real life goal is to one day own a bar. It’s going to have a huge, oak bar that runs the length of one of the walls. It’s going to have some of the finest beer, wine, and spirits that people can ever ask for. The food is going to be amazing. Yet because it’s MY bar it’s not going to be one of these snooty up scale bars. It’s going to be my bar; my own low-class juke joint. That is my life goal.
But this is just a blog. What does any of that have to do with what you’re reading now and hopefully will continue to read over time? Well, let me explain.
So after weeks of talking about it and asking the opinions of friends, family, and random people I meet at the bar I figured the time was right to begin this experiment of mine. What exactly do I want this to be? Well, I want it to be a blog where I can talk about things that interest me.
Okay so that is a bit vague. Let me try to explain this all a bit better. I write. I am a writer and all that that implies. I make minimal money (sorry mom) and try to experience life as much as I can. And I love to tell stories. Whether they are my stories or the stories of people I know or even the stories of people I’ve just met I love to tell stories. It’s one of my true passions in life. Another one of my passions in life is telling my opinions about any and all things I care about. Among those things are sports, music, movies, art, literature, and life lessons.
So that’s what I want to talk about with this blog. It’s going to be stories and random thoughts. Basic bar talk if you will. I am a firm believer that some of the best conversations you can have about anything are the conversations you have when you’re talking to people in a bar setting. So let’s just kick back and enjoy this.
We’ll talk about sports and music and all sorts of other small talk things. If you have a sports topic, an album, a movie, or anything else dealing with the “Justin arts” as I like to call them let me know and we’ll talk about it.
We’ll talk about food. I love to eat and if you want me to eat someplace and write about it please let me know. I already have a short list of places I want to write about and I promise you there is not a single Applebees in America that I want to write about.
We’ll make list. We all do it after we have a beer or two (or five or six) in us. We’ll make fun practical list and more fun absurd list. Some of the best conversations of my life have been debating the hotness of blondes in the studio era in Hollywood. So if you want a list let me know.
And of course we’re going to tell stories. Lots and lots of stories. They’ll all be stories that involve people I know or myself. Sometimes it might be about a trip or a party that we just had. Or it might be something that happened five, six, seven, or more years ago. A good story is a good story and old friends never really seem that far away when we talk about them to our new friends.
Some things we won’t talk about include politics and religion. If you want to brow beat other people take that else where. Life is to short for people to be mad at each other I believe and since I’m the owner, C.E.O., operating manager, editor, and writer of this little blog what I say goes.
So sit back and read up and let’s have fun with this. I don’t know where it’s going to go or what’s going to happen here but I do know it’ll be fun. Mainly because I’m fun. And maybe you’ll learn something. But even if you don’t have a drink, chill out, and welcome to Justin’s Low Class Blog Spot.
I look forward to it my man. You should come up with a list, maybe 10-12 songs long, of your favorite songs to listen to after you've had a few too many to drink.
