The First One

I have no idea how to start a blog. This is my first one, the inspiration for which I got from my mild obsession with reading the blogs of people that I've never met. All of their lives sound significantly more interesting than mine, which is why I think I like to read them. However, the idea that I'm putting something out there that will remain for many years to come is kind of neat. The last time that I participated in any web-changing experience was in 9th grade, when my friend Kristy and I decided to create a webpage devoted to Ben Affleck (which, if anyone is interested, can be located here).

So. In order to get this first blog out of the way, I'm going to end it with a quote that I think best fits my life right now. The real writing can come later.

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin-- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination..."
