my blog: the beginning

I have been toying with the idea of a blog for a while now, but couldn't settle on a topic that would keep me excited about posting. I tried to post thoughts about life and God, but unfortunately those were too sporadic. I read a ton of design/craft/decorating blogs, and don't want to be a copycat. And I'm not one of those people who has some really unique living circumstance, so that rules out a generic "my life is cool because" blog.

Then I turned 29 (sob) and started my second quarter-life crisis (the first came during my John Mayer phase at 25...which turned out to be an awesome year). And my thoughts turned to where my life is going and what have I done with it so far and how badly I don't want a 3 in front of my age and how long can I pluck out the gray hairs before I get a bald spot and what if I look back on my life and all I remember are the gray walls of my cubicle? And if I had to list my hobbies and interests on an eharmony questionnaire (which I may or may not have done) what would I put? I mean I have a lot of things I like and enjoy, but do I really spend any time doing them?

So, that is my blog...a collection of things I love. I'll just write about what I love doing and then I can see how much of my time I spend doing it. And maybe through this exercise I'll gain a little clarity on where I want to steer my life. At the least I will stop focusing on what I don't like.
