Blogging Adventure!

..Ahh Perception eludes us.
I just wanted to write myself a note to remind myself why I decided to start blogging.
I find that I discover and learn several intriguing things as I am journeying through this lifetime and I wanted to be able to record them for myself. I want to be able to express what I observe in writing….I run the risk of embarrassment when I go back and read my posts haha.


The blog is going to be comprised of

-discoveries
-insight
-observations
-events
-interesting things
-humor
-pretty pictures


Explore themes of
-perception
-social psychology
-emotional psychology (love, hate, fear, shame, conflict, etc)
-intellectually stimulating discussions/themes.
-[and inception-like themes]

I will try and stick close to those objectives. It will be the accumulation of [hopefully useful] knowledge. I will try not to deviate from these too much.

lastly, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
