Day #1

Consistency is difficult to maintain when you keep it to yourself. I feel like individuals tend to fall off the bandwagons they try to construct on their own. It may have something to do with an innate desire to be affirmed in our actions and ideas, or maybe it's just unnatural to be passionate about something without letting it out. At least for me, keeping something to myself is usually a sure fire formula for any experience to lose it's significance. In expression, I can understand relevance.

That is why I'm challenging myself to write every day. What I say will be public, and, whether anyone cares to read or not, I can be motivated by the idea that what affects me day by day will be subject to a commitment to tell these stories and think on the relevance of both the sublime and mundane as they happen. There is no excuse, in an exercise like this, to count any day as insignificant. I have an obligation now to reap life's truth from even the most barren of experiences. My hope is that I will find them more fertile then I would have before.

So, if you care to read, I appreciate it to no end. Not necessarily because I want a large following for this blog, but because it will oblige me to you, and perhaps we both may harvest a further understanding of the endless issues and joys that fly under our radars. I can't promise that I will solve a grand mystery of life at every single post, but I can offer that nothing in this blog will simply touch anything at face value. I want this, also, to be about more than just fulfilling a self-imposed quota.

As it stands, it's war on the mundane by revealing it as no such thing.

Game on.

Just for fun, this song is amazing. I'm becoming a Peter Gabriel fan, and this was played on the last episode of 'Scrubs' i guess. Take a listen (Don't worry about the vid). Gorgeous.
