All About Me, A Perfect '10
This motto is meant in the least egocentric manner possible. In recent years my life has revolved around friends and family, all who I love dearly. But I need to bring my focus back to the person who will be there with me until the very end -- me. I'm not shunning anybody out of my life; I'm not going to become a recluse; I will continue to be the same person I was before. It's just now, I have to ensure that all endeavors undertaken will be in the best interest in my future before I put my entire focus on it.
This sudden shift in direction of my focus was not warranted by a specific, defining point in my life. On the contrary, I would have to say that my most recent deployment to Afghanistan -- 1 Dec 08 to 30 Nov 09 -- afforded me the opportunity to really think. This thinking lead to the realization that I am ready to graduate from 'young adult' to 'adult'. All Friends have to make this transition and I am welcoming my time with open arms. So, all this being said, let me explain briefly my intent behind this blog.
I will hopefully be a Broadcast Journalist in the US Army starting in June of '10 and graduating in Sep '10. I want to start being even more involved in life than I already am. I'm starting this new blog; I'm making video logs (vlogs?); I'm learning Twitter; I've already mastered Facebook; I might get involved on Myspace again; basically I want to connect, no, I want to INTERACT with as many people as possible. I already have quite a few friends around the globe. But I want to encounter others who have the same ideology as me. I want to learn new ideologies. I want to get out there and be a real reporter. So, that is the intent with this blog. I know it won't start off like that; but I hope that what I have to say is intriguing enough that any who read this will feel they should recommend my blog to others. Don't worry folks, we'll get there one day.
Wow. As short as this is, I feel accomplished! More to come soon folks...
