Hello, welcome to the blog of Allison Honey. And no, Honey is not my real last name, but for all purposes pertaining to this blog or my online identity, that's who I am.
I've started blogs before. Two to be exact. But they never really went anywhere. The first one I created during my recent years as a Print Journalism major, hoping that people (mostly, employers) would check out the "Random Viewpoints of Allison" and think I had creativity, or something "different". Problem was, I wasn't concentrating on the right things, and I was letting certain demons we'll call them, get in the way of almost all motivation. The second blog was more of an online journal, where I tried to pretend my demons were a thing of the past or that anyone would give a shit. Needless to say, both these publications were a load of B.S. served with a side of ignorance.
These passages are going to be something different. This is because it is only once you've opened your eyes that you are ever able to really see. And it took a lot of years and a lot of mistakes before I realized that. This is not an online journal about my life. What this is there really is no definition for, because I won't just concentrate on one thing. It may be chaotic, but what I want to concentrate on is the normalcy, human nature, events, thoughts, whatever the cat drags in.
However, I really would not feel right not letting you know where this is coming from, who it is that is posting these random musings. I grew up in Wisconsin, and went off to Journalism school as previously mentioned at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. When I think of my years in both High School and College I can't always help but think of the phrase "Youth is wasted on the Young", because in my case it certainly was. The amount of things I could go back and do over are endless and my biggest problem currently is to not just throw my hands up in the air and say I've screwed it all up, there's no point now.
After I graduated from UWM in the spring of '09 I still was not quite ready for the real world. So I shipped off to Florida to work at Walt Disney World as an Intern, and well, I've never left. I'm currently working at the Magic Kingdom, and there really is no place quite like it on Earth. I'm still trying to figure out what makes me stay, but I do know one thing: every day brings something new. And I think I've finally found an escape from those motivation-killing demons, and that is definitely very huge.
