Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. If you are wondering why I've decided to start this blog, well the answer is twofold. First of all, I've been keeping a private blog full of all the madness that is my life for quite some time now. That blog has sparked some fascinating dialogues among myself and my friends. In it, I divulge all the goriest, juiciest details and as a result, I guard it diligently and only allow certain individual access to it. Over time, I have found the process to be therapeutic, educational and above all, amusing. So, I figured it was time to take it public in order to share with the world what goes on in my crazy little life. I intend to share some amusing stories, spark some debates and glean some nuggets of wisdom from this beautiful little community we call the internet.

The second reason I have decided to start this blog I like to categorize as the "damn, I'm getting old" explanation. In a few short weeks, I will be celebrating my last birthday of my 20's. It is bittersweet, because on the one hand, I have over the years grown so much more comfortable with who I am and I would not trade that for the world. On the other hand, during that self-indulgent process, I somehow managed to squander my vibrant 20's on way too much heartache and isolation. Thus, it is with both gratitude and regret that I move forward into the final year of this defining decade. Writing this blog is meant as a way for me to capture what is left of my youthful insanity for all posterity.

Over the next few weeks, I am making a point of bringing all you new readers up to speed with the details of the story so far. Unlike in my private blog, here I am changing names and details to protect the (not so) innocent (i.e. myself). But the stories you are about to read are all very, very true. So sit down, fasten your seat belts, I have no idea where we're going, but it's going to be an awesome journey.
