…Well sort of.  This is my first blog post in long time.  I had a myspace blog way back in 2005 but anyone who knew me back then who still knows me today knows that I have changed dramatically over the last ten years and I am in no way the same person today as I was back then.

In the last decade, I have moved four times to four different places that could not be more different from each other.  I went from Austin to Los Angeles to Toronto to Honolulu to Kona.  Each place that I moved to changed me a little bit, and I took that change with me to the next place.  As a result, I have a unique personality that is a mix of all those places.

In the last ten years, my introverted nature has become a lot more apparent.  Although it could just be that I am more self aware than I used to be.  I had reservations about starting a new blog because I take my privacy very seriously and wasn’t sure how comfortable I would be with putting myself out there.  Then I thought about the fact that the longer time passes, the harder it is to remember certain things.  Things that I don’t necessarily want to forget.  In the next fifty years, if I’m fortunate enough to still be around, I would like to able to look back on my life with a smile and talk about what a great ride it has been.  And if I can look back on my blog and reminisce on all the memories that I would have otherwise forgotten, then I think it’s worth putting myself out there once again.
