What to Expect

So, I mentioned in the last post that I really didn't know why I was starting a blog. Well it's partly to work on my writing, since everyone in the whole corporate world values it as a valuable skill to have. But aside from that, its just to have a place to have an opinion on things. Of course everyone has a blog by now, from tweens to baby boomers and everyone in between. I don't know if I even want anyone to read this, but its nice to have someplace where, years and years from know, I can look back and say: "I knew it" or "I called it" or "I told you so". Any of the above will suffice.

So what should one expect from this blog. Movies, Technology, and Sports dominate my interests, so there should be a lot of opinions about that. But moreso than the above, life in general. I am at a transitional point in my life. I don't necessarily know that things ever get harder as life progresses, but they do get more complicated. I'm not even out of school yet, and I find myself already worrying about retirement, and college funds for my children, and marriage, and my first house (home theater baby!), and just everything. I've got massive loan debt. I haven't procured a job yet. I don't know what lies in store.

Basically what worries me is uncertainty. I've learned a lot in college and I can't say the majority of it has been while seated in a class room. Everything is political. From everything to everything. I can't say I like it, but I must accept it. Living life is about building relationships and using people. The latter I have really struggled with and probably will continue to struggle with. (I'll elaborate on "using people" later, because I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way.)

Talent and aptitude only go so far. Life is about building bridges and taking short cuts. These may seem like two contradicting philosophies but the genius comes from knowing when to use each.

Who knows...This may be complete crap. I'm only 22.
