Hello world!

The blog is now online. I would have liked to make my own website and everything, but hey, this is exactly what I’d end up with anyways.

My name is Kurt Bernasch. I’m 18, live at home, and am currently out of high school and enrolled in University come September. I hail from Ancaster, Ontario, Canada (For those of you who don’t know where Ontario is…). I have many problems not diagnosed by a doctor, but are quite clearly real. I suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder, a small degree of Depression (runs in the family), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (I have a need to keep my hands very clean at all times, so much that they are red year-round, even with constant moisturizing with the best stuff. I also have a set routine in the morning and before bed that I have ALWAYS completed). But I would never consider having these diagnosed, as the medication would get rid of my imagination and creativity. I am convinced one day those will create something of great value to myself and society.

Sometimes I wish I could just stop thinking (It takes me an hour or two each night to fall asleep, even with herbal sedatives.). In real life, I’m quite quiet. I guess it’s because I’m always thinking about something, so I never have any time to spend gabbing away about nothing. As I type this I’m reading it aloud in my head (Can you do that?), as well as playing Rob D’s “Clubbed to Death” piano solo in my head.

This blog will serve two purposes: To let the world know what I do every day, and to share the book “This book will change your life” with the world.

I won’t be performing all 365 activities in the book: that’s just crazy, and would become very boring after a while. I will, however, perform and record (video and pictures, maybe; audio, definitely) select activities that suit my fancy.

Let the blogging begin:

Today I got a lot done for someone out of school and nearly out of work (7-1o hours weekly isn’t exactly enough to call work). I was woken up at the very early hour of noon by a lady from Tim Horton’s, they want me for an interview. I recently applied for a job there as the dude who makes the donuts. It’s 40 hours a week and pays $10-11 hourly, which is pretty good. Whether or not I get hired depends on how much they can stand my long hair.

I saved several pictures of coyotes on to my hard drive. They’re going to be used to help decide where to carve the small piece of soapstone I have. My grandpa is amazing at carving, and there is good money in it (I don’t think he’d sell his carvings), so I figured while I’m wasting away with nothing to do, I could try my hand at it as well.

I started to learn Rob Dougan’s “Clubbed to Death” piano solo today as well, too. It’s a very simple, relaxing, yet dramatic piece. If you listen to that song, it’s like a movie is playing. The music plays a story to you. I won’t tell you what story, because I’m sure it’s different for everyone.

Then I went to work, cleaned my hands of grease to hell, and started up this blog! Hopefully there won’t be many gigantic posts like this one, I don’t think many of you appreciate them.
