Inauguration

I haven't done this in a long time--writing in a blog, that is. I ventured into the world of Xanga my freshman year of college. Most of my friends had one and I figured it was a great way to stay in touch. That was of course, before the myspace and facebook culture truly began. I found myself bored with my blog before too long. My writing style was mostly informative. I wrote about the mundane activities of my day, complained about the small annoyances that invaded my life as a brand new college student, and took those "spill-your-guts" surveys (which inevitably always ask "Do you have a crush on someone?" and unless you actually do have someone in your life, you end up feeling incredibly awkward. You don't want that "special guy" to think you're not interested if you say "no," but if you say "yes," you run the risk of too many people jumping to too many conclusions. Oi Vay!)

I've been learning a lot about developing vision lately--dreaming of what could be. I have a vision for this blog. I want it to be different than my Xanga. I don't want to bore you or myself with the mundane. Sure, life comes with mundane, so there might be pieces of that here and there. But I want this to be a place where I write about ideas and thoughts and experiences--not where I scribble down my daily schedule. I want this to be a place where I learn. Where I can process through what I'm "aimfully wandering" towards. (You'll learn that I'm rather corny. I just can't help it!) I hope this might be a place that you enjoy visiting. Where you will add to my thoughts, give me new ideas, be inspired to spend some time in reflection yourself. Reflection is a practice that doesn't come easily to me, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

I look forward to trying this out. Please bless me with comments :)
