Myself

At age 12 I wanted to be a photographer, at age 16 a writer, 17 a pot farmer, 18 a skateboarder, writer, and a poet. When I first turned 20, the list of things I wanted to become was huge. A scripter, a writer. a rapper, a singer, a philosopher, a poet, a guitarist, a drummer, a pianist, a dj, a politician, a pod caster, a blogger, a youtube atheist, and many other things. What I wanted most however, was to come off as a sophisticated person who seemed both tasteful and intellectual.

Even though I failed at pretty much everything on my list, due to lack of motivation, lack of discipline, not having the means, or just being lazy, my quest has not been completely fruitless. My mind has broadened to extreme horizons, especially when it comes to my political views, religious ideals, my taste in the arts, and my overall philosophical outlook on life. I am still a lazy bum, but for the first time in my life I am satisfied with who I currently am. I do not feel the overwhelming urge to become someone else, or like someone else, that has plagued me most of my life. I still have a lot to learn and a lot to improve on. Plenty of books to read, music to hear, films to watch, and views to strengthen. Who knows if I will ever become the person I still dream of being, a sophisticated intellectual who has superb taste, can speak 10 languages, can write up an html script from scratch, and play many musical instruments, I very much doubt it, but anything is technically possible.

I plan on posting blogs about anything I find interesting, anything I think is worthy of being shared with others, or anything that pops into my head and I feel like jotting down. Most of which will probably be commentary on books, political, philosophical, and religious rants, and commentary on any articles, videos, or blogs I find online. The occasional personal blog, like this one, might pop up once in a while, but only if it is something I can not help but post.

That is all for this post, thanks for reading, I love you all fiercely.
