First Post

So this is the first post of my first blog. Why do I choose to blog now, after being affluent with the Internet for 6 years? Well yesterday I had a epiphany while walking back to MacGregor from 34-101. The epiphany is that my life was passing away, and I have nothing to remember my day to day life by. One could argue that I am the summation of my everyday experiences, but the progress in which I got here is lost.

Back in the old days, writing in a journal or diary was the norm, and the journal was a valued possession. And it was valued because it was a collection of raw and unedited of one's experiences through life. It provided a window into a person's life that one cannot get just by talking to the person's relatives or friends. An example of this is shown in the move The Prestige. You could in the triumph in Angier's eyes when he got hold of Borden's journal. It was like he had control over Borden soul once he had his hands of Borden's most valuable possession (or so he thought). A more lilteral case of this is in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. And I begin to digress, but the point is that a blog is the modern day equivalent of a journal and should be valued just as much.

Hence I start my blog, so that in the years to come, I can look back at what I did on February 18th, 2010 and remember all the good times or reflect on my past mistakes. Cheers.
