Why? (First Post)

Why is it that I feel I was much smarter in grade school? Ever feel that way? Well my goal is to think that way no more. One of my main pursuits in life is to continually feed my mind and body. I love to learn about new things and glean tidbits of information from people. I am also a very active person and love spending time outside, preferably doing something physical, like playing soccer, snowboarding, rollerblading with my dog, or hiking, etc...

I'm very analytical and have a tendency to look at most situations in life as a opportunity to learn. I was probably one of this kids that always asked "why? why? why?". Case in point: While I was in college I knew a few people that were ready to quit, because either they missed home, it wasn't quite what they expected, and/or someother reason. My attitude when I went across country for college was a bit different, besides the obvious learning that was going to be done in the classroom or studying, I though that whether this was to be the best time of my life or the worst time, it would be a time where I'd learn a lot about myself, about other people, and about life in general. That was one opportunity I surely did not want to miss and that in itself would make it one of the best times of my life, with many more to come, I hope.

Anyhow, there are a number of purposes for me starting this blog:
  1. Document what I've done, seen, felt, and/or learned so that I have something concrete to reflect on
  2. Hopefully it will act as a catalyst to get my butt in gear and stop being such a big procrastinator
  3. Share with those that are interested (you) some of my experiences and potentially incite others (again, you) to comment so that I may gain another perspective on various things
  4. Become a better writer (not saying that I'm even a good one right now, just one of the many things I'd like to work on)
  5. Learn something new! While the above 4 points are my main objective, there's usually something thrown out there that you just didn't expect. To that I say, "bring it on!" ;)
