Because I Can!

That's the topic of this weeks Tar Heel Tavern. And as I sit here and ponder this pharse a few thoughts come to mind. I work because I can. I play because I can. I read because I can. I hack because I can. I love because I can. I blog because I can. It seems to me that everything I do I do because I can. I may not do it very well but do it I do. I'm not one to sit on my butt and do nothing, although I could, I instead choose to do something because I can. I now wonder why I can do these things. Is it because I'm special? No, everyone is special in some odd way but that doesn't mean they can do what I do. I do the things I do because they make me happy, they complete my life and fill it with joy. Although my skin is white and I'm male, I'm a minority. I'm an individual, one of a kind. I'm me and I do everything because I can. Take this blog for instance, it may not be very good but it brings me joy and I do it because I can. What can you do?
