Amazing though it is, I'm starting a blog. I guess I got tired of mentally bitching about things to myself, or to my poor room mate who has her own series of issues to contend with.
Everyday I see things that move me, either for good or bad. There is so much beauty out there. Conversely there is a lot of ugliness. My goal is to observe both ends of the spectrum. Perhaps I will learn some things about myself while I'm at it.
Wishes, dreams, desires... what good are they without a broader context? Perhaps this is my anthropological training coming out, but I believe a fully self-involved blog, journal, stone tablet, or napkin is an egotistical enterprise without taking the world into account.
My best friend sometimes chides me for taking too much on my plate. He's interested in a simple life with a limited scope. That's one thing that makes us work well as friends. I inspire him to think outside the box, and he brings me back down to reality. I love having friends that compliment my character in a productive way. It makes life more interesting and fulfilling.
So here it goes, my attempt at a blog that is chock full of philosophical anthropological musings. After all, those are my areas of mental expertise.
