a new year, a new me.

"the meaning of life is beyond me. the best i can do is deal with it one word at a time." - Larry Gelbart

i've been putting off writing my first post of the new year, despite making it a resolution to post more, because i've been very apprehensive about putting across what i truly want to accomplish with something that almost everyone has. everyone wants to be important, that's why literally almost everyone blogs. it's a way to show your true interests, what you stand for, what your outlooks are. just like everyone else, and just like larry, i'm simply trying to figure out where i stand in the chaos, what i stand for amongst the many, and who i am as a good, well at least hopefully good, person.

i've learned a lot about myself over the past few months, learned enough to realize that the writing style/subjects of my previous blog posts don't depict an accurate representation of who i am, and what i stand for. sure, i love lady gaga, i think she's simply awe-inspiring and a true artist, but going on a 500 word rant about whether her career will last, which will, isn't necessarily what's most important to me. i want to produce a blog that everyone can read, my parents included. profanity and provactivity are definitely insitutions that i chose to challenge; but that can be done in a refined and classy manner. overall, i want this blog to be a spot-on representation of what goes through my brain, what interests me, what i care about in the moment. therefore, a fluidity among posts probably won't be able to be deciphered. so although those previous posts are today what i think to be a bunch of garbahge, i'll leave them there, cause at one time, that's what i was thinking, and that's what i thought would be interteresting. but today starts the evolution of the simplest form of what life means to me, "one word at a time."
