Hello, my name is Landon Summerville, and if you’re reading this, you probably already knew that. Welcome! This little corner of the internet started back in my junior year of high school as a project for my creative writing class. Back then, I had deadlines to meet, grades to earn, and a teacher who probably regretted ever giving me free rein to write about whatever I wanted (shout out to Ms. Blevins). My early posts were full of opinions about school politics, cafeteria food, and the endless drama of teenage life. Let’s just say those entries are now buried so deep they’ll only resurface if the internet decides to humiliate me one day.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve decided to start fresh while keeping the same chaotic spirit alive. Here, you’ll find my thoughts, experiences, and whatever else pops into my brain uninvited. Writing more was my New Year’s resolution, and honestly, what better way to stick to it than by oversharing with the entire internet? Plus, now that I’m an adult and no longer getting graded on my writing, I can say whatever the fuck I want! This is the unfiltered, unapologetic version of me; no sugar-coating, no carefully crafted political correctness, just the real deal. If you’re looking for fluffy, feel-good commentary, you might be in the wrong place. But hey, at least you’ll know I’m being honest, even if it’s a little messy.
Back in high school, I had a crystal-clear vision of my future: sharp suits, climbing corporate ladders, and closing deals in the business world. Spoiler alert: life had other plans. I’ve been a police officer for several years now, and while I still use my “sales” skills (mostly convincing people to stop making terrible life choices), my career looks nothing like I thought it would.
What I love about law enforcement is that I get to do things my way. I’m not your stereotypical “tough guy” cop barking orders and throwing my weight around. I’d like to think I’m more approachable. Less “hands on hips” and more “Let’s talk this out before it gets weird.” Sure, I’ve got the badge and all that, but my most effective tool is probably just treating people like, well, people.
Outside of work, I’ve been married to my amazing wife for seven years. We’ve got a toddler who’s taken full command of the house and a little baby that’s already stolen our hearts. We live on our own little slice of paradise in the middle of nowhere, where we’re figuring out how to be self-sufficient. Think chickens, gardens, and a whole lot of “Oh shit, was I supposed to water that?” moments.
Thanks for stopping by my website. I hope you enjoy reading my posts! You don’t have to agree with everything I write (honestly, I don’t even agree with my past self half the time), but let’s keep it respectful. And if nothing else, I hope my ramblings give you something to think about… or at least a laugh at my expense.
