Soooo.... this is my first post ever. Whoooo!
I'm really hungry T-T
Anyway, I decided I wanted to make a blog because my dear friend Paul has one and it was worth envy. So, of course, I had to try and emulate him by creating my own.
I decided to call my blog "How To Tell a True War Story" because I'm reading a book right now called "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien and it has an interesting chapter on just that. Basically he's trying to get the point across that when someone tells you a war story, if it has some sort of moral or guideline, or fills you with pride, it's not true, even if it really happened.What makes a war story true is if, when you ask afterward, "Is it true?", the answer matters to you. "Absolute occurrence is irrelevant." Something could have happened word for word and be untrue and the most true story could have never happened.
So that's kind of what I want my new blog to be like. Everything I write in here will be true, but whether or not it's actually happened is for you to decide.
