First Entry

A decidedly uncreative first entry to this new journal. My goal is to use this to record the events/thoughts in my life leading up to and during my service in the United States Navy, both for my record keeping and so that my friends and family can stay at least electronically involved in my life. Obviously I won't be able to update at all times (basic training, etc.), but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

First I hope to really gather my thoughts on what brought me to this point in life and why I'm taking the direction I am. It looks to be an uneventful week ahead so hopefully that update comes sooner rather than later. Another goal is to keep this blog as career related as possible without the "I'm sad the Giants lost today" posts, although completely separating the events from the emotions seems unlikely. Hopefully the emotions and events I can capture here will enhance each other to give a better picture of myself, without one bogging down the other. More to follow
