mission statement

I'll be honest with you, I am horrible at keeping journals, blogs or anything. It's not so much that I lack the skill or the material, but I just can't seem to keep it in my daily routine of things. This may be because I lack routines, but that is besides the point.

So, now that I'm done rambling, I present to you the purpose of this blog. As it often seems to be the case in my life, my reason for doing things stem from a multitude of conditions that all converge onto a single need. This need, based on my judgment at the time, could be solvable by creating a blog. However, in order to keep the blog relevant and purposeful to my original needs - therefore maintaining its fidelity to its purpose - I've listed those conditions below, in part for any reader to know what to expect on here, but also in part for me to remember why I had the ridiculous thought of keeping a blog. So without further delay, the conditions:

1) To pose questions or observations I have not been able to understand at the moment in hopes that an older, wiser and more mature self will be able to figure it out later. Therefore, keeping clear and detailed records with the mindset that I will revisit these questions years later.
2) To digest, process, better understand or figure out these questions from previous posts (it'd be silly to just ask questions, no?).
3) To chronicle my journeys from the moments before, during and after graduate studies.
4) To record random epiphanies or radical realizations as to not forget what they were.
5) To reflect on my walk with God and the challenges, struggles, growth and changes I encounter during it.
6) When I write in a journal, I've realized, it is both enjoyable and therapeutic for me, but it kills my fingers after about an hour of it. Typing seems easier and faster, though I enjoy the feel of a pen on paper over the keys on a keyboard. I will write concurrently in journals, but a blog will centralize everything and keep things neat. Plus, a search feature helps recall past thoughts. Plus I'm a geek, and you can't be a geek without a computer.
