It&#8217;s the final push that helped bring this idea into being.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is a phone call from my father.  When he calls it&#8217;s always hit or miss as to what he will talk about.  He is a fairly monotone person who has a limited range of external emotions.  He asked me what I was doing, for which I replied watching the game with friends, then he mentioned he forgot the game was today.  This in itself is normal since he&#8217;s not a sports guy.  He then proceeded to tell me that my uncle had passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was not unexpected since my uncle was fighting cancer in his brain for a few months.  There was a time limit for which we all knew but hoped would be extended longer than it had.  My uncle was an important person in my life in very specific ways.  It&#8217;s hard to explain the influence a single person has, but I can sum it up.  He had a semi sarcastic and witty since of humor for which was granted to me sometime around the age of 16.  This witty sense of humor served me as a safety net through specific times in my life.  For the good and the bad that it is, it has defined me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second was a friend, for whom I would like to say is a good friend, but sadly the world hasn&#8217;t allowed us to get together enough to be more than basic friend\/acquaintances.  This friend posted some things that made me fear her well being.  This wasn&#8217;t her normal character.  Though the situation has worked through without incident, it made me realize it&#8217;s time to start talking, writing, spilling then things that I have help deep down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the catalysts that made me finally realize that there are more important things than for me to sit complacent in life and wait to see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I&#8217;m starting my experiment in life&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two things of important note happened to me today.
