hello, welcome.

Six years ago around the time I graduated high school, I had chat with my distraught girlfriend lying on the back of her car, staring at the stars. It was a conversation far from romantic. We talked about life and where we saw ourselves, as individuals, in the next five years. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to know every detail of the rest of her life. She wanted to know where she would be living, who she would be with and in what school she would be teaching. I recall telling her that the most exciting part about that moment was having absolutely no clue where I'd be in five years. I take it to be the most blissful aspect of my young adulthood because the possibilities are endless. This is the opening number to a show that I am putting on for you to get a little more of an insight into who I am and why I do what I do. This is also for me, as a writer, to chronicle my experiences and reflect on the way I feel / look at life at a particular moment. In five years if / when I'm in a completely different place in my life I can look back and recall the exact sentiment these words were written with. So, this is me in motion, living my life. this is my progress, remembered.

I am planning on writing about a multitude of topics prevalent in my life because I feel as if I finally have some interesting things to say and I've grown enough to tell you in a more cultured, thorough and less bullheaded way. I'm not exactly sure how this endeavor is going to turn out. That is to say that I'm not sure that the subject matter is always going to be consistent, though I promise it to be honest and spirited. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I'm going to enjoy writing it.
