Dear lovely people, friends, family, I have a new website, and yes, it is my name. For those of you who might be wondering if I am going to vaingloriously relish in all of my accomplishments, I’d start off by saying that I don’t have many of those things to glory in. That said, I am proud of who I am and what I have been able to do with the cards that I have been dealt. I am happy. But I most certainly am not contented to stay where I am. I am learning every day. I am realizing potential and I feel blessed to have been given such an inquisitive mind. Though I take baby steps on a path that I have slowly chipped away through, at times what seemed to be pure granite, my goal is a hefty one. Without beating around the bush, my goal is to understand the nature of reality, of the universe, and of life itself, of what time and space is, agency, God and gravity, and the purpose behind it all. I suppose some might say that that is a grandiose and unrealistic desire. I suppose it might sound delusional. All I can say is, perhaps it is. But I sure have learned a lot so far in attempting to understand those things.
My drive has derived from experiences that I’ve had that when I try to explain to others, I often times feel silly or incapable of doing so. I feel that it is in one respect futile to attempt a systematic, objective evaluation of these experiences since they are wholly subjective, but simultaneously I can in no way deny what I have learned and felt because of them. I can’t deny how I have grown from them and the perspectives I’ve gained persevering through them.
I have this site now because, well, I just wanted a fresh place to store my thoughts that I’ve felt comfortable sharing with others. Dream of Freedom is still my dream, but as far as I can tell, I am awake now, and I am trying to act to bring those dreams to pass.

It is hard for me to write short pieces that I haven’t put much thought into, but I’ve determined that I need to write more often regardless of whether I write a masterpiece, or a simple blog entry. This is my first post for this blog. I have other purposes in mind for this site, but for now, it is merely a blog that I hope to actively update with info on all of my adventures, experiments and thoughts, poetry, stories, and all!
Here is a link. [To click, or not to click] that is the question—
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them?
