The Purpose Of This Blog and This Blog Only


The purpose of this blog, Eating Elephants One Bite At A Time, is to share ideas and opinions with no-one, myself, someone, anyone and everyone. The only requirement is that I write and post. No-one, not even me, is required to read it. This is a space to put my words, leaving room for more words in my brain.


Why the title? I have found that as the world gets both bigger and smaller all at the same time, and I get more experience, both negative and positive, that human beings nowadays are overwhelmed. Everything seems larger. Depression is epidemic. Anxiety is talked about as commonly as the Cold. Children are medicated by adults who are medicated. Why? The Elephant (your bills, kids, in-laws, job, disease, whatever) seems too big to eat. It wants you to believe that its monstrous girth is insurmountable by little old me and you. You try to eat the Elephant whole. You beat it into what should be a tender pulp and you try to swallow it. You marinate it and try again. Then you realize your own might, time, nothing, will make this Elephant digestable. The Elephant wins and you are defeated in to dispair and hopelessness. In fact this is all just good Elephant propoganda. The Elephant is very digestable...One Bite At A Time.


If you would like to partake in my thoughts, ideas, rants, raves, experience as well as experiences, opinions and collection of random thoughts on life A.K.A The Elephant, welcome. The banquet begins here.
