My first Blog entry. (cue ominous music)

Well, I don't really know why I'm writing this, but I suppose that's how most of these things start anyway. Most of the things I do aren't that interesting, but most of the things I think while I'm doing them are, so perhaps I'll inadvertently entertain somebody.

I suppose I'll jump right into my life, and if you have any questions I encourage to come up with the answers yourself. For example, if you wonder whether I have any pets, the real answer (no) is less interesting than the answer you might invent for yourself (yes, three lemurs). Please share your fictionalization of my life with me; perhaps I shall adopt it for real.

I have recently graduated from college, and am suffering from a lack of motivation/direction. I don't have a bad life--most things about it don't suck--but my spirit hates me for living small. I stand there at work and think to myself (or aloud), "I am bigger than this." The problem is, I'm good at too many things. I don't say this out of arrogance; I am sure it is consistent with most of your experiences that a person can do nearly anything well if motivated. The problem is drawing the line between doing anything and doing everything. I could, for instance, make a career singing, teaching elementary school, or conducting neurolinguistic research (to name a few of the things that have occurred to me). It is safe to say, however, that I could not successfully pursue all three simultaneously. So I stand at the crossing of infinite paths, and take not a step, for fear of eliminating any possibility.

I shall keep you posted.
