a change of direction

My goodness. It's been a long time since I've been to this place...to this virtual haven, this site dedicated to me. A place to mentally dump thought to finger, finger to keyboard, keybored to screen. Across the world I believe my thoughts travel, little do I realize that like stars above, my thoughts will always be out there waiting...only to be viewed by those who gaze for something other than the voice of thought in their own mind.

I'm done traveling for awhile. Yet, I journey everyday realizing that the moments of the past 782,824,245 seconds of life I've lived (From and including: Sunday, August 9, 1981 at 8:12:00 AM--To, but not including : Tuesday, May 30, 2006 at 7:22:45 PM) seem like an eternity but are relatively meaningless to the reality that lies ahead of me...second by second.

I'm writing in this blog to share my life with those who care to live with me for a moment. Will I disclose my life story? probably not. Will I turn keystrokes into sentenses of confusion for those who are not me? most definately. Am I exposing myself too much? you'll be the judge. But that is exactly why I will share life with you, because I feel that today we, people, do not share life with each other. We hoard it, we bottle it up, we spend it with nothing to show for it, and when we can no longer enjoy it, we take it away from others...mentally, emotionally, and physically.

With my previous blog in Europe, I asked people to send comments, I asked for a discussion. Now I care less for discussion, because a discourse on the topic of my life is not always needed. Instead I invite you join the greatest trade. The bartering of life's moments. Be it something funny, sad, abstract, concrete, intellectual or superficial....feel free to traffic your moments across this space and reflect with myself or others who care to share...be it friends, family or strangers.
