In college I had fun with my International Relations technical papers by titling sections after song lyrics. If I had a paper about nuclear proliferation, the third argument may be headed "Hit me With Your Best Shot." I am not in college anymore, but I learned to fill my gaps in wit with lines made famous by people far greater than myself. Some once said "Steal, but only from the best." What does it say about me that I steal from Incubus? I title my first ever blog after their 1999 album as a guidepost.
I am 25 years old and I don't yet know who I am. I am too old to go on much further not knowing. It stifles success. This blog is my attempt to help myself make myself. Besides, if you don't exist online, these days, you are only half alive.
My cousin had mentioned that I am living an interesting narrative of my time, and that I should write it down. Thanks Tim, I needed that encouragement. I would like to believe that my story could capture the story of my nation, my generation, or my rapidly evolving world, but I know that this writing is just selfish self-inquiry and practice at becoming... better.
