It's Just Lutz... First blog, here goes nothing.

For those of you that know me, I guess I dont really need an introduction. You all know my strengths, flaws, and I am sure each and every one of you could post a hilarious story of a time that we have spent together, or something crazy and stupid you have seen me done in public (most likely at Ohio University)

For those of you that dont know me...shit, where do I begin? Well first and foremost, I am a Bobcat. I think that goes with out saying, I have seen and done some crazy shit in my days. For those of you that are unaware of what a Bobcat is..get with the F***ing program. Just Kidding. But seriously. A Bobcat is more than just being a graduate from Ohio University. It is a persona that one must carry on with them upon leaving Athens.

A Bobcat is someone who has spent time in the tranches, and by trenches I mean countless hours roaming Court Street, or posted up on a bar stool at one of the many bars Athens has to offer. Oh yeah, and you get an education along the way.

After 5 years of living in a bubble, or utopia as some may say, adjusting to life in the "real world" was probably one of the hardest things I had to overcome. Anyone who has gone through this, knows exactly what I am talking about. I guess it goes with any college, but I just like to boast about how I survived Ohio University, and I wont lie, I think I am better than most for doing so.

I am more than just a Bobcat though. What else more you might ask? Well isn't that just one of life's greatest journeys; to figure out who and what you really are? I guess you could say I am still trying to figure that one out. I received my degree from OU in History and Political Science. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with that, I just knew I had to keep taking classes to be able to stay in Athens and party all the time.

Talk about your all time backfires, because now I honestly have no idea what I am doing with my life. I feel like every week I have a new aspiration or goal. But to give you a brief little history, and to sum up the past year, Post Athens (which for further references I will refer to P.A, so dont get confused and think I am talking about Pennsylvania).

I started my "adult life" or my P.A. life as a Life Insurance Salesman for the great firm of Northwestern Mutual. They glamored me with the idea that I could make $100 grand or more in my first year. Basically, if you have ever seen the movie Boiler Room and remember Ben Aflec's speech he gives, you know exactly what I am talking about.

I had all these dreams and goals of becoming an awesome Financial Adviser, becoming my own boss, and pretty much tearing up the financial services scene. But for those of you that know me, what it really turned out to be was me taking all my friends, their parents, and my parents friends out to lunch, trying to get them to "invest in me", or basically, buy something they dont need at this point in their life, or they already have. Now I'm not gonna sit here and debate the importance of life insurance, at least not in this post. But I do have a story that I will reveal to everyone, probably in another post, that ties back into this.

Needless to say, The Life Insurance game didn't work out for me. At first, I was real down on my self, and thought I had "failed" at this. but in all reality, I didn't fail. It just wasn't my "niche" or what I was meant to do. So I bounced around for a bit, doing random jobs and nothing seemed to fit. Sooo I decided to serve at Applebee's. Now I just love being able to say I pretty much took out a loan for a high end Benz or Audi to finance my education (or should I say my 5 year long Vacation) to use my piece of paper to work at Applebee's. but hey, its just a means to an end for now. I have some things up my sleeve and some plans in motion as to what I want to do with my life.

Anyway, I am trying to keep these blog posts short to keep ya'lls attention. I know this post really had no point, and it was just the ramblings of a man stuck in his past. I promise my next post will be more interesting and actually have a purpose. Thanks for reading, I hope you learned a little about me, and if you want to learn more... keep checking back for my next post!

Happy Saturday Everyone, I hope your weekend kicks ass and you get inebriated beyond the limit of self control. Just dont drive in that state of mind, dont text, tweet for FB! Everyone regrets the drunken creepy texts or posts when they wake up the next day!
