Start of my blog

With the emerging blogging culture becoming prevalent I, Kevin Mueller have decided to blog about my life, current events, and whatever becomes an issue that I deem worthy of a blog.

Recently, there was a man whom I knew briefly if barely knew but his life impacted mine in such a way as to make me reflect upon how short and brief life is. It is truly like breathing faintly upon a window pane and watching it swiftly and inevitably fade away. This man appearing healthy and robust died a sudden and unexpected death.

How sad! I have pondered and even asked my friends which would serve you better; to know that you are dying so you can get your goodbyes in order or to die suddenly hoping that you said I love you enough to the ones that matter.

In this day and time where communication is so readily available I find it harder to keep in touch with love ones as my time is saturated with a mind altering/numbing pace. I propose that we should take a time out and assess who or what really deserves our precious time. Is it Facebook, TV, sports, etc or actually the essence of life which is knowing and relishing the short fleeting time we have we the people we love.

I recently have began to yearn to spend time with my parents. As lame and morbid as that sounds, their wealth of knowledge, love, and concern is not measurable and I realized that the depth in which I know them is in a shallow way. I came to understand that the only role in which I knew my parents were as guardians and suppliers and my call to personal action was to gauge the depth of their being as to comprehend them in a light that has never been seen.

So as they are in their 50's, I want to make sure I tell them that I love them and they mean the world to me because one never knows where the winding road of life will abruptly end.
