step 1

Being that this is my first post, I feel as though I should have something substantial to say. Really, I don't. It is Friday afternoon and I am one class removed from the weekend. I am excited to get this blog started. I don't have a well articulated plan for where I want this to go, but that should not be a surprise to anyone who knows me. Let's just say I have some ideas. Rough though they may be, I am becoming more and more committed to these ideas each and every day.

I suppose I should be at least a little more specific. I am infected with a terrifying combination of idealism, optimism, and wanderlust. I desire to see the effects of change in this world, and I desire to be part of the forces affecting that change. For a long time, I kicked around the idea of writing a book titled "Confessions of a Christian Communist." Who knows, maybe one day I will. For now, I know too little, am far too arrogant, and do not possess the required discipline. Currently, I am seeking a practical confluence in the rivers of adventure, social change, and personal growth. As there are no constants in this life I am sure that I will change, and so will my visions. Consider this a log of my personal and professional evolution.
