Inaugural Post of Big Woods Blog

Welcome to the inside of my head — population: anxiety, random song lyrics from 1987, and at least three unfinished projects I got excited about after midnight. I’m officially part of Generation X, which means I grew up drinking from garden hoses, memorizing phone numbers, and surviving entirely on sarcasm and questionable casseroles. We are the generation that learned life lessons from MTV, John Hughes movies, and the universal understanding that when the streetlights came on, you’d better get your ass home.

Now here I am, starting a blog because apparently this is cheaper than therapy and less embarrassing than yelling at people in the grocery store parking lot. Somewhere between cassette tapes, AOL dial-up, and realizing my knees now make microwave popcorn noises when I stand up, my brain became a nonstop director’s commentary of observations, opinions, and completely unnecessary conspiracy theories about why self-checkout machines hate me personally.

This blog is where all that chaos gets released into the wild. Expect sarcasm, pop culture references nobody under 40 will understand, stories that start in one place and somehow end with Prince, Blockbuster Video, or a rant about modern technology. If you’re also wondering how we went from “Be kind, rewind” to arguing with robots and paying $9 for cold brew coffee, pull up a chair. We’re all figuring it out together.
