So I've been thinking about getting this blog back on track for a while. Today, while watching the original Power Rangers tv show (thanks ABC) I decided to actually do it.
My hope is that I'll actually talk about real topics and issues, not just the lame everyday stuff in my life. Will I keep up? Only time will tell.
As always,
No Limit

Fears
Some people don't believe me when I say that I'm awkward.
However...somehow I relate with the following fake celebrity men. They are all, in general, well-liked. But...they are also all quite awkward, and at times fear that I may one day become them. If you don't know who they all are....shame on you.

DOH!
I'm mostly kidding.
...but kinda not.
That is all.

Ode to Saucer
On this Christmas eve, many emotions fill our hearts. Memories of Christmases past, good times spent with families and friends, and obviously joyfully celebrating the birth of our savior. This year, I recall one special Christmas in particular...
In late December, 2001, my younger brother Joey (8 years old at the time) took home his class's pet crayfish for break. His name was Saucer. We decided to take him with us to Florida because we couldn't leave him home by himself for so long. Saucer was a very troubled little crayfish. In the van on the way down he continually tried to escape from his crate, and once he would have escaped from the car had it not been for the heroics of my father (...the great Robert). We don't know why he was trying to escape. Maybe it was natural instinct of freedom. Maybe it was because David, Eileen, and I kept saying (behind Joey's back), that we were going to feed him to the sea gulls once we got to Florida.
We arrived at Pass-a-grille Beach, our annual Christmas destination. Saucer was placed on the counter, still in his little plastic quarters. He continued his escape attempts, and multiple times we tried to re-enforce his cage, but to no avail. On December 24th, Saucer escaped again. This escape led him to the small space in between the counter and refrigerator. In an ironic twist, he was completely trapped and could not escape. We spent about half an hour trying to rescue him, using kitchen utensils and a fishing rod. We finally got him out and put him back in his crate.
...It would prove to be his final escape. The massive amounts of dust and what not where he fell eventually caused him to pass on. We buried him at the beach. Obviously, Joe Tull was devastated. However, the concept of a suicidal Christmas crayfish has been a hilarious inside joke for the older members of my family. As the years passed, Joey even learned to appreciate how flippin' awesome Saucer's story was.
"David Tull is remembering Saucer as he lived; beautiful, whole, and scuttling off the edge of the counter."
- David Tull
"Saucer, the greatest crawfish that ever lived."
-Eileen Tull
Thank you Saucer, for all the joy and laughter that you have given the Tull family.
That's all for now...

Intro
I was rather hesitant to start a blog. I had a xanga for several years, which I enjoyed, but it seemed like eventually all I did was complain when life was bad, and not post at all when life was going well (or at least going the way I felt it should). It became an unhealthy vent, so I stopped posting.
I'm starting this blog for several reasons.
The main reason is that I've been thinking a lot about what I'll be doing next year, and right now my strongest lead is pointing to the middle of the woods in the middle of Virginia. I'll be surrounded by old people and high school students (if it pans out). Facebook can only go so far, and I felt that a blog would be a good way to keep people in touch with what's going on in my life (more than just my favorite movies and whatever hilarious one-liner I decide to put as my status at the time).
I also feel like I've been slightly missing out. That's sounds kinda pathetic and that's not really what I mean. However, I do think that blogging (and reading/responding to my friends' blogs) could be beneficial to my personal development, as well as strengthen relationships with others.
Either way, I hope that I kinda keep up with this.
