Welcome To the World of Chip I.T.

Being naturally talented at nothing is a skill few posses, and few aspire to have. It’s almost as great as being the guy who attempts to come up with philosophical tweets, that really just turns into 140 characters of crap that none of his 67 followers care to read.

For the first 18 years of my life, I have attempted to understand why I was placed in a body that has no athletic talent, given a mind that makes inappropriate comments way too often, and a hairline that gets larger everyday. What’s really sad about this whole situation, is even amidst my physical inabilities, I’m still almost as sexy as Ryan Gosling with that three-day-no-shave. J

Hi. My name is Chip I.T. (I know right, what a dope pen name). Since I am unable to provide you with my real name, and therefore you cannot stalk me on Facebook nor read my Twitter account, I’ll just give you a little sound bite of myself. I’m an 18-year-old kid from the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. I’m white, Jewish (to all the Jewish girls out there, “sup”), un-athletic sports lover, comedian wanna be, aspiring rapper, and a freshman majoring in journalism. I’m fun, loving, and most of all, willing to share my funny, stupid, and life evolving stories with the rest of the world.

I’m sure you’re probably thinking to yourself, “this is just another blog that a kid is writing to get some fame and look all cool.” Well my friends, that is where the page turns and I tell you that you are VERY VERY VERY wrong. See, I’m not a rookie to the blog world. I’ve been around the block before, and I’ve seen what the power of a good blog can do to people.

Once upon a time, I went to go see a chick flick with a friend. While watching the movie, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “why the hell am I watching a chick flick with another dude? And why the hell am I watching a chick flick with a dude on a Saturday night?” Than it hit me, the world needs to know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with watching a chick flick, with another dude, on a Saturday night. When I came home from the movie that night, I ran to my computer and starting typing the beginning of something epic. What began as a three-page explanation of the purpose of this blog, to show the world that being yourself is what makes you great, became an explosion of laughter and love for friends, family, and people all over the world. The blog that I first brought to my friends at lunch soon become an epic sensation.

Things were going great, until I made I made a few mistakes, didn’t listen to people who are smarter than me, and let my ego get the best of me. I was forced to shut down the blog for good, thinking that I would never come back to something that I truly loved. While writing my first blog, I never understood how powerful words can really be; what you write can be just as powerful as what you say.

Senior year flew by. Before I knew it, I had graduated High School and was on my way to college. The more I thought about the blog, my life, and my interests, the more I realized that I was born to write, born to tell the world my stupid stories, and born to tell the world that being given nothing is better than being given everything. And so here I am, back on the word-press, doing what I love, and showing the world that “living life sukka free” is a lifestyle, not a Wiz Khalifa lyric. I finally understand what Peter Parker’s uncle meant when he said, “with great power, comes great responsibility.”

If someone were to ask me who I compare myself too, I would say I’m a mixture of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird put together, but than anyone smart enough would realize that’s just not humanly possibly to put into a body that can hardly bench 165 pounds and is struggling to do P90X (hell ya I’m doing P90X!). So my answer would be that I consider myself to be that guy who rose to the top, was living the dream, and made one mistake that cost him everything. But just when you thought he was done, he was given a second chance to redeem himself. With all the lessons learned, and the knowledge gained, he now understands what it truly takes to be great. Against all the odds, after years of struggling through the pitfalls of stardust, he see’s the light of day, and makes it to the top of the world once again.

To what meets the eye, I am simply just an average guy. On the surface, I am a hairy Jew who speaks his mind too much, is in love with Cool Ranch Doritos, and lacks the necessary skills to “seal the deal” with women. But when you look beneath the surface, you will find a young man who’s different. Ya, I may not be perfect, I may not be good-looking, and hell I may not even be a good writer. But I’m Chip I.T., and as long as that makes me different from the guy standing next to me with a really disgusting beard that makes my “neck-hair”/beard look amazing, I am perfectly happy with that.

For those of you who are still reading this, I invite you to a world where you will read things that will make you laugh till you cry, laugh till you crap your pants, and laugh until you realize that what I just said has a deeper meaning than originally thought. What I have to say, believe it or not, is actually quite fascinating, and of course entertaining as well.

This is the beginning of something epic, and I want you to be apart of it. So stop by every Tuesday night, cause I’ll guarantee you this, there will be nothing better than Chilling with Chip. Welcome to my world, the World of Chip I.T. Like Yogi Berra always says, “when there’s a fork in the road, take it.” 

Yours Truly,

Chip I.T.
