I am a transitive verb, an action, a process of infinite possibility. Most introductions describe the mundane parts of a person's soul and being. The truth is that we are all paradoxical. Life is a contradiction. Self is--at best--an intangible. So, since the self is essentially undefinable, we are left with labels, small tidbits describing individual facets of the self. Here are some labels that I give myself:
husband, father, thirty-year-old, educator, student, writer, book worm, musician, poet, grammarian, philosopher, existentialist, pacifist, conscientious objector, thinker, engaged citizen, disillusioned American, libertarian, bilingual, skeptic, rationalist, cynic, optimist, day-dreamer, peace maker, hiker, photographer, amateur web designer, GTD practitioner, coffee aficionado, Daily Show watcher, Jazz fan (the Utah variety), Eagles fan, decent athlete, golfer, passionate competitor, chess player, procrastinator, tech addict, Mac user, Chaco wearer, Suzuki Burgman rider, and arrogant PITA.
This site exists for a number of reasons. It fulfills my web design and internet obsession, gives me motivation to write and to read, allows me to share my thoughts with a larger audience, helps me develop myself professionally by publishing and sharing resources, and it provides me with a way to "journalize" my life with a medium that is much more conducive to my way of thinking and doing. I hope that you will find it useful on some level.
Cheers,
