A little story

When I was younger, at around 6 or 8 years old, I was still living in my old house. My baby-sitter was with me and my sister for the day as usual. I was in the house playing with my toys and my baby sitter went outside. When she came back in she started calling to me and my sister to come and look at what she had found. We went to go see what had happened and my baby sitter, Serima, showed us a bird’s egg that she had found on the ground. Me and my sister started looking at it carefully because we had never held such a thing before. I picked up the egg, mesmerized by it, carefully holding it in my hand. And then it popped. Without any provocation it popped in my hand into a gooey green mess splattering over my hands and clothes. It was such a completely random event, that for a few seconds I just stared at the goo. It smelled horrible of course, but luckily I was able to get it all off.

Blog Intro

Blogging is here to connect the world. It's here to connect the people in the world. The internet gives us the power to send data, bytes, 1's and 0's anywhere and everywhere in the world. The data we send can be simple text, pictures, video, or sound. This power is amazingly useful. You can learn about events on the other side of the world. Now, with blogging, we are connecting people on a more individual and personal level. Blogging is the tool we use to learn about people from what they tell us. Not just a generalization heard of in the news. Looking at a blog is seeing the views of individual people. Blogging is a social network for us humans to make and use to our advantage. Outside views allow you to look at yourself from a different point of view. Socializing with the people around can do the same, but where else but a blog can you find points of views from across the world. Instant messaging is limited to the time you are at a computer. Email's can only be viewed by the two people involved in the discussion. Blogs are online all of the time and open to scrutiny from everyone. Learn from this blog or ignore it completely, it's up to you how you want to interpret the posts here.

Question Response
I tend to be indecisive in much of my life. Things I want don't always pop out to me. I know I enjoy playing video games, I like computers, I like fixing electronics. I just can't figure out how much I like these things. I have to many interests. I've shot arrows at targets, swam for hours, played tennis on a court and on a table. Oddities are my forte, random info holds an entrancing allure, efficiency my goal and constant struggle. I want it all, but how do I meld all these things into a single lifetime. There's to much to do and to much I haven't had a chance to try. I just have to do my best at the things that I can do and find more things new, odd, different, unique and appealing to me. Eventually I'll find something, till then, we'll just call this a testing period.
