Life's a B#tch

My name is Jonathan Swanson and I’m just your average Joe. For all my life I’ve just gone with the flow. While others ambitiously reach for the stars, I have settled on taking the easy way out. Now if you want my two cents, it would be that life’s a b#tch and it certainly is nothing to write home about. From my experience, I have usually given everything my best shot, to put my best foot forward, overcome the seemingly impossible at times. And more often than not have my efforts thrown out the window. To see the world through my eyes and put yourself in my shoes, I will start at the beginning.

As luck would have it, I was born into a dirt poor household with no silver spoon in my mouth. Perhaps one day I will be filthy rich but that’s nothing more than a glimmer of hope for now. I was no tall, dark, and handsome and certainly no Prince Charming. God willing I will one day find that person to tie the knot but now it seems like shooting for the moon. I was also no athlete with a body built like a sh#t brickhouse. When it came to sports, I was at the end of the pecking order and nowhere close to those who got game. I also have a short fuse and most people knew it. I was a loose cannon and they would push my buttons when they could. Despite my best efforts to restrain myself, I would lash out like sh#t off a shovel.

But despite all that, I managed to move on. A chance to turn a new leaf and start fresh. A chance to hit the ground running once more and go out in a blaze of glory before the fat lady sings.
