Intro to Dbeetz

Well, my first blog. Besides the little ones we did back in 6th grade computer class. And my failed attempt at a Youtube channel. Alright, so this isn't my first. And it probably wont be my last. Anyway, I'm not entirely sure what this is going to be. Note the "Random" and "Madness". I just want a way to get my thoughts out, and I thought a blog might be fun! I'm experimenting, so bear with me.
What do you talk about in blogs, anyway? The recent book you just read? I just finished Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow, that was effing brilliant. My new favorite book. Maybe in later blogs I'll talk about my cooking and baking, since that's my super-mega hobby. That, and Colorguard. You know, the pretty flags during the halftime shows for football games? Yeah, that's me.
Hmm... Still trying to find fillers. What can I talk about that wont reveal anything that pedophiles might use to find and rape me? Difficult, yes... Well, I suppose I can explain the title of the blog, that might be useful. We all know what "random" and "madness" mean, but what the hell is dbeetz? It's a little nickname I got a year or so ago, after I was titled "diabetesaurus." Yep, I am a dinosaur with diabetes. THE SECRET'S OUT! All confusion can be erased, now that Dbeetz has been explained. There ya go.
Diabetes, yeah. I've had it for a while now, since I was 4. My sis had it too, and my dad. Both of them passed on a few years ago. Type one, by the way. I'm not fat. At least, not that fat. Also known as Juvenile Diabetes. Like the foundation, JDRF? Yeeep. Donate to them, they might just make my life a hell of alot easier some day.      It sucks, but I just gotta live with it, ya know? I've made a lot of bad habits over the years, and I'm trying to fix that. But let me tell you one thing- if you have a friend with diabetes, and you offer them food, do not say "Oh this has 3 sugars in it". First off, we don't sugar, we count carbohydrates. Second, 3 sugars? In how much? In the entire bag, in one chip or piece? You can't just say that. Sorry, mega pet-peeve. But yeah, diabetes sucks, but I'd take it any day over cancer or asthma. At least I can breath and live and stuff, ya know? Some people have it way worse, and I'm thankful that I don't.
That's one of the things I'm trying to do. Be thankful for what I have, and realize that life could be much worse. We make ourselves unhappy so much, by wanting what we can't have, or being unhappy with what we already have. I don't want to be like that. I want to be able to look at what I have, and say "well at least I have this." and be happy. Because honestly, I'm very lucky! I have so many things that others don't, and I am happy for that. Now I just have to teach myself to not want everything I don't have. Thats the hard part. But I'm getting there, slowly but surely. Buddhist meditation books help wonders. Learn how to meditate, and life is so much calmer. Thats what I always tell my friends when they're having trouble. Meditate, focus on your breathing. In and  out. It helps, really. Try it.
Alright so I know this all SOOOO interesting, diabetes and meditation. Your pretty much reading me rant and trail off into random tangents. So, I will shut up and let you go on with your internet life, reading blogs and facebooking or whatever it is people do nowadays. I hope this blog actually turns into something, but if it doesn't, I wont be surprised. I tend to do this, start something and never finish it. Anyway, thanks for reading.
