Eddie and I were talking today, and it got me thinking about the purpose of this blog and the philosophy by which I try to live my life in general.

Both in dating and in general, I want to live a life where I'm constantly pushing myself out of my comfort zone and trying new experiences. I started doing stand-up comedy in the wake of an awful break-up last year. I created this blog as a way to make dating more fun, or at least get some humor out of it. Be a phoenix and use rock bottom as an opportunity to build something better.

I promise that tomorrow's posts will be funny. I'm meeting with Sydney Stigerts in the afternoon to discuss the semi-regular column that she will be writing for this blog (if anyone else is interested, e-mail me at nicole@thebeentheredonethatproject.com). Afterwards, Eddie and I are going to hit up a few wine bars to continue the experiment.

I'm off to watch Dark and get some writing done. I hope that you all have a weekend full of adventures.
