i have more productive and meaningful things to say than FUCKIT

Kenya is over and to see this space become a “that-time-in-Kenya” timecapsule would be a shame. Kenya was life-changing, but it is not the culmination of my profound life experiences. Not only would that be sad, it would discount what my day-to-day life has to teach me. And, as of late, it’s been teaching me a lot.

But I’ll split those lessons up into separate posts. Right now, I wanna talk a little about the direction of this blog. It started as an attempt to not be a quitter anymore. I’ve had some pretty great successes with that over the past few months, but I’m still sawing away at the root of the problem: See, what most folk don’t know, is that I tend to view my thoughts/perspectives as insignificant. I know ::points to head:: that that isn’t true, but I don’t know ::points to heart:: that it’s not true.

In an attempt to rectify this situation, this blog will now focus on what I observe day-in, day-out. I’ll try to post weekly so that a) I can give adequate attention to what I wanna talk about, b) I don’t exhaust my thought-bank, and c) I avoid making the transition from “Who cares what I think” to “Because, you know, I’m an expert”

What’s more, I’d like y’alls input. (Because, if I wanted a monologue, I’d’ve shut this place down some time ago…)

Anyway, I look forward to keeping this blog up and I look forward to hearing from y’all.
