The Purpose of this Blog

Hello all,

This is my first "public" blog outside of Facebook and MySpace.

The purpose of this blog is for me to express my feelings, thoughts, and other things and receive commentary back from others about what they think, feel, and want to share, etc.

As my first entry, I felt that I should introduce myself and tell you something about me:

Growing up as a young child, the only thing that I knew was that I wanted to get out of the ghetto. I didn't know anything about life outside of it... just that I didn't want to be in it anymore. By the time I had received my scholarship to college, I knew that I had to chance "to be something". I tried forming relationships with my father (who I haven't seen for many years now... probably close to 15) and other people that I thought I wanted to know before I left, but it seemed like they weren't very interested. So, by the time I turned about 21, I figured that I knew everyone that I needed to know and would make new friends along the way.

Fast forward to 30 and I am still finding my way along the friendship highway. I think the most important thing I have learned is that people will be whatever way they choose to be. My partner (of 7 years now) has chosen to love and care about me. I did not ask her to, make her, or demand that of her. She chose that on her own. And now I see that I must choose people like her in my life.

So for now, what you'd need to know about me is that I am a super techie, super Trekkie, and that I love dining out and watching movies. I am newly vegan (for about 5+ years now) and am a HUGE Matrix fan. I can talk about the movie for hours!

Oh, and I'm pretty quiet. I don't say much, but when I do, I try to put some thought into it! I believe it's better to say something useful than a lot of nothing!!!

Well, that's the summary of me. What about you? What are your hopes, dreams, fantasies, whatever? I hope to see how this new "relationship" I'm forming turns out. Wish me luck!

Peace.
