The intro

Until a few months ago, I was fully convinced that blogs were useless, I was under the ignorant assumption that they were just a tool of internet junkies to express an opinion and feel important. Perhaps that's not far from the truth, but it doesn't change that I have discovered myself and with the help of friends, invaluable knowledge from blogs that has aided me make some wealthy changes into my lifestyle.

2009, the measurement of time this society has accepted as an accurate measurement for time, has been a year of self-reflection and self-imposed change for me. None of the differences in my life from December 2008 were forced upon me, but developed internally as a result of various external experiences, some continuations of stale cycles of which I had seen the best and worst, through personal and secondary experience. Others were new experiences which began to dominate my days in a similar manner to the activities in the stale cycles, but the activities were like a system of gears, producing energy, while the stale cycles could be compared to a see-saw, up and down, and going nowhere but up and down on the same fulcrum.

This entry is a lot more personal than most will be, in the sense that I only have spoken about personal experiences. It will include my observations opinions, and fresh ideas on a variety of subjects, obviously my firsthand experiences. The topics which will more than likely surface with frequency are those that are of great importance to me at this point in my life. These include, but are not limited to, learning the Spanish language through alternative learning techniques, active education, self'-help (self-confidence, achieving life goals, etc), sustainable, healthy and natural lifestyles and applying them to the world around us, and agriculture.

Please share your thoughts, and bring your ideas. I want this to be a place where people don't feel insecurity or pressure to hold a certain opinion. We are all are own person, but many times we feel that we have to live up to a widespread image, due to constant external pressure from media outlets, friends, family, among others. Keep in mind that what you can conceive in your mind, you can achieve/have/fill in the blank, and naysayers or sources of discouragement are inherently weak, as they focus on the negative, the lacking, the black hole, not the beauties of the galaxy or universe on the other side.

Last note: I wrote this first entry 25 hours after I woke up, so if some parts does not make sense, although I have read it through three times, forgive me, but let me know. Enjoy my blog, and please share your thoughts and original ideas. We can all benefit from sharing one another's knowledge and action. VISIT AGAIN!!!
