Am I serious?

Some people asked me if I'm really serious about this. Do I really want to become a knight? Well, yes, of course I'm serious about that. But do I really think that I'll ever make it? Well, how can I know? I'm serious about trying my best. This is not a joke blog. This blog is here to document my thoughts on this quest, to show my progress (ok, there is not much to show yet, but I only just started), and maybe to entertain you watching me becoming a knight. If you don't believe that I can ever do it, you can still watch me failing. Or you can fail to watch me, because I'm making it?

I found a description on Wikipedia on how to become a knight. It involves good manners (I have those, my parents were good at this) and riding horses. I was on horseback once, and I didn't fall off, but I think I'll have to do some work on this, maybe. Unfortunetaly, the hints are all for the middle age, not for today.

But there is more information, for example a list of knights in the different orders. An extra page on the british hohours system lists the orders. I can see that not only Barons and Lords are knighted, but also a lot of popular musicians, actors and even directors. I mean, that does not sound like an impossible mission, does it? Check the lists and find someone extraordinary to compare to!

The Knight To Be

I want to be a knight

I want to be a knight. Yes, I'm serious. I have achieved quite a few things in my life so far, and most of my goals sounded far fetched in the beginning. But I achieved them all. Now I'm looking for new quests in my life, maybe one that's not so quickly to finish. And so the idea was born: I want to be a knight. All, with sword and King (or Queen) and a long table with candles, ladies,maybe even dragons, who knows?

Yes, actually, who knows? Does anyone have an idea of how to become a knight? Is there something like a quest description or so? If you happen to know something about it, please let me know and publish a comment. I will keep you updated about my progression here, in the Knight's Blog.

Sincerely,
The Knight To Be
