Welcome to Real Life. Please leave your previous illusions behind.

It's funny how everything can change in one moment. How you can be trucking along with renewed purpose and motivation and then realize that you left the coffee pot on at a house that you haven't lived in for over a year and it caught on fire, burned the house down, and all your possessions are gone. All you have left to your name is what you're carrying, which, damn the luck, was only an extra pair of socks.

I've come to the realization very recently that I need to make some fundamental changes in my life. Small changes are easy. Changing my hair, or eating different, working out - those are relatively easy. I'm talking about me. Changing me. How I think, how I act, how I feel, what I do. I'm aware that is next to impossible. Maybe it won't be a change so much as a discovery of who I really am. Finally saying what I think, feel, what I need.

I don't know where this will take me. I imagine in some ways it will be radically different and in others rather mundane. I hope to maintain the blog through this process, but, as life has a way of doing, it may get swept away by more important things.

To those who know me and love me, please bear with me as I'm sure I'll be different in the coming months. To those who only know me through this blog (are there any?) I hope you find whatever I manage to post interesting and compelling. But if not, that's okay too. It's more for me anyway.
