Allow me to welcome you to my online journal! I want to take a second to explain the purpose of this web site and try to clarify my intentions.
First of all, I feel that so much of my life goes unrecorded. Sure, I may have it in my own memory, locked away for me to browse when I choose. However, what about my friends, family, and the general public who will never get to experience such things. What’s the point of that? It is to allow you the reader to gain a little insight into my life!
Think of it like reading some classical literature. No matter how obscure it may seem, you can always identify with certain aspects of the story. My intent is to show that certain parts of my life is both similar and dissimilar to those of my audience.
Another purpose of this journal is to allow my friends and family to keep up with me. I’m constantly trying to find ways to keep them up-to-date short of sending individual announcements to each of them. On top of my coursework, I really don’t have the time to send 100 e-mails every night! 
So back to the recording bit for a second. I think it would be great to be able to look back in a few years at what I was doing on say Dec 14, 2001. Perhaps 30 years from now, I will have written enough entries to publish a book… yeah, that’ll be the day !
Overall my intent is to keep this from being a cut and dry synopsis of the daily grind, but allow it to be a place of expression of my thoughts… my musings. Please take time to comment on my ideas. Your feedback will be one of the lifelines of this endeavor.
