Mic check, 1,2, mic check,
This is my very first blog post. Welcome! I have been wanting to start writing for quite sometime now and, finally, it is happening. Not to mention, I sent my mother to blogger.com yesterday and she was having a ball getting started. I was jealous.
I want to write for a few reasons. First, there is something super challenging about translating your thoughts into words, especially for a creative mind. I can think of great ideas all day long, but if I do not put them to action, and in this case, type them into existence, then what can I expect of these ideas? There are definitely self-fulfilling purposes for creating a blog. You all know how big of an ego booster it is to have "8 comments" on your facebook status or have your tweets "RT'd". I suppose it makes you feel related to and listened to.
Secondly, to relate to people all over the world. I'm 25 and feel as though I can conquer the world, literally. I try everyday to better myself, accomplish something I am proud of, make someone smile or laugh, and genuinely challenge myself. I grew up in a marvelous home environment. Folks are still together and are like a dream team, brother and sister are happy, healthy, and amazing friends of mine, my folks paid for my education. You can see where I'm going. I think that this means that I have no excuses. I have been given the tools, now I must act and act now. I do not want to scratch the surface, I want to dig the ditch: create art, furniture, and products that are functional, design homes and restaurants, travel to the corners of the world, make enough money to support my lifestyle, and be surrounded by people that are digging their own ditches.
I believe this is going to be a healthy relationship. This excites me. Speaking of self promises, I told myself that I was going to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston today to see the "Form Follows Function" exhibit i.e. inspiration! I must keep that promise.
