What am I doing?

Honestly, I don't know. I'm not even sure I have a reason for most of what I do. At least not until I've had a chance to sit back an analyze what ever it is I've done. Then I'm pretty good at making stuff up. Hind sight is 20/20 after all.

Well, perhaps I'll use this blog as a journal of sorts. A good friend of mine does something like that and claims its a great way to release built up stress. He's probably right, there are few things more relieving than spilling your cares and worries... even if they are only spilt into a book.

Okay, so let's start this off. Today is the first day of the new year! Woohoo! Haha, almost convinced myself that I was excited. You see, I don't care about the new year. A year is nothing more than a unit allowing us to comprehend the passage of time. Starting a new year simply means we change calenders, nothing more. That's how I see it. There is nothing magical about a numeric change in date.

Now then, since we are talking about the illusion of time, I'm curious... Is there a virtue that can be any more of a blessed curse than patience? A man who possess an abundance of patience can wait on a particular moment for time innumerable without losing his cool and trying to jump the gun. Sounds like a great thing right? Keeps you from making hasty decisions, that's for sure. Unfortunately, man is only granted a limited amount of time on this earth. If you wait for to long, opportunities come and go, chances pass you by and you'll die an unfulfilled man.

You know, no matter how much you come to understand in life, there will always be something more that you have missed. Basically, the more you know, more you realize you know nothing at all. Life is pretty twisted if you think about it.
