New Years Day

Around this time 16 years ago, I was asked by my mother what my New Years Resolution was going to be. I was just about to start High School, and was already familiar with some of the identity stealing perils of peer pressure.

After some considerable thought, I made it my New Years Resolution to endeavor to be true to myself over all else.

So, I feel it is equally appropriate that my first "blog" be on New Years Day.

With the beginning of a new year, of new challenges, new world events, new chapters in life...
If the excercise that is blogging is about speaking one's mind and discovering one's path, then I want my first message to be the mission statement for what is bound to follow.

So, to 2005 and beyond, and all that is to come, I hope that this blog will fill with my thoughts and insights, and that each post remains as true to my resolution 16 years ago.
