I've been gone for too long!
I've missed some big holidays, and that's a bit of a bummer, but I'm really not too disappointed. I've done a lot of thinking about this project, and about all the ways I could make it bigger and better. More exciting to read. More fun for everyone involved from me, the content provider, to the people who help me pull off these celebratory stunts, to you, the reader and consumer who doesn't care about my unhealthy obsession with comics books and rich foods.
Celebrate With Jake is supposed to be about finding the little things in life to celebrate. As the title page says, there's something to celebrate each day, no matter what's going on. I think I was focusing too much on trying to find reasons to celebrate instead of just looking for what was right there in front of me. If you read back a few posts to the one I wrote about Jim Henson, you'll see what I mean. It wasn't a holiday, or a special day, or a day someone on the internet decided to make into a day where you eat peas from the edge of a knife. It was just the birthday of a guy that I have a lot of respect for, and I wanted to share that with my readers.
Living your life... and I mean really living it, cannot happen in the past. We can't change what has already happened, and we can't fully predict everything the future will bring to us. Success and failure come to us in waves and to be happy with your life, to really understand that you're okay and be content with just being... you have to live in the now. In the present. I want to be able to stand up out of bed every day and look out with clear eyes, because whatever that day is going to bring to me, I'm going to rise to meet it.
I want to share that with my readers. I want to share with you my positive experiences and all the wacky stuff I get up to. I want to plan these posts and deliver content that is entertaining and thought provoking. And I want to enjoy doing it.
So with that, this blog is changing direction. Expect to see more of me soon. There's some projects I've been meaning to get to, and hopefully, they'll be just as exciting as I think they will.
See you soon, and stay awesome.
