Where to start

I have been retaining this blog for over a year now without a single post, simply because I've had grand illusions of writing something worthwhile and meaningful for other people to read, despite the fact that I like to procrastinate constantly. I had no idea what to write about, but I do enjoy Ultimate, traveling by car, and the occasional academic thought.

I have a quote stored away that I like to read when I feel uninspired and I don't want to write by Antwone Fisher:

"Life often has a way of making people feel small and unimportant. But if you find a way to express yourself through writing, to put your ideas and stories on paper, you'll feel more consequential. No one should pass through time without writing their thoughts and experiences down for others to learn from. Even if only one person, a family member, reads something you wrote long after you're gone, you live on. So writing gives you power. Writing gives you immortality."

I think that about sums up the idea of blogging in the first place and I will try to remain to that credo.
