New Year. New Blog.

New Year's resolutions.... Where to begin?

I don't like them.

I never have liked them simply because of how conventional they are. I approve of making each coming year better than the previous, but I am the type of person who constantly finds ways to improve myself so that each day makes me a better person.

That being said, I also have a hard time sticking with something for the long haul since I am constantly searching for new and better things to do. 

One thing I started to do somewhat regularly in preparation for my GRE was to write a blog. I primarily wrote about things we did at work so that our fans could get a better idea, but I also wrote a few personal articles too. Now that I am out of school for the first time in my life, I have noticed my ability to articulate my thoughts has started to dwindle. My pattern of thinking on a daily basis has also become much more shallow. The fact is that my brain is a muscle and since leaving school, it has grown much weaker. I blame the fact that it is not constantly being stimulated by homework and lectures. 

I have known this for about a year now and, as you see, have tried to work on it but have failed. My laziness kicked in and I stopped writing all together. I am hoping that I stopped because I limited myself too much on what I could write about. My goal with starting this new blog is to write to myself about anything and everything that I can think of. Some days I will write about very though provoking topics and other I will write about a T.V. show or Disc Golf (both of which can actually be fairly thought provoking). I am not going to try to build a following or categorize my posts by topic. I am just going to write whatever comes out so that I can look back at the end of the year and actually see improvements (much like how people weigh themselves for a year). 

If you end up reading some of my future blogs, I ask that you think deeply and avoid judgment.
