Greetings and salutations. It’s been almost a year since I’ve written anything on this log. Truth be told, I forgot about it until that Lewis Black show, the root of all evil (I think), was debating whether web logging (or “blogging” as we know it) or Mixed Martial Arts was evil. MMA won and that’s all I can remember about that show.

It’s strange, over the past year, there hasn’t been any truly significant events in my life, but then again, 21 years have flown by and not much has happened.

In the duration of the year I’ve: realized that school is tedious and degrees are becoming meaningless, found an great place to work at, fully realized how tied to money we all are and nothing’s gonna change that unless you’re willing to sacrifice everything, started training in Krav Maga, found new friends while losing all contacts with old ones (save one or two), and understood that life in general isn’t all that bad.

On a car ride home I can’t recall when, I remember T.C. talking about how if you look back in life and looked at in the broader schemes of things, you’ll realize that God plays a big role and will guide you to where you are now. Safe, alive, and still you. I’m not a big God believing man myself, but I can see what she meant. The day to day things are rather trivial until they start linking up. I imagine it as a step a day to conquer and to look forward. One day when you look back, you’ll see how far you’ve gone even if you haven’t actually moved.

For now, my dreams will remain big and I’ll see how far that’ll get me. Hopefully, your will remain big as well.
