About Me

>Since I didn't want my Side Bar to seem like a novel I put this semi-short post as a blog to give myself a background.

I know a lot of things, but there are a lot of things I don't know. I graduated from a public school with only 22 people in the student body from 7th to 12th grade. I've participated on Varsity Basketball, Track, and Cross-Country teams throughout my high school carrier. I am the first person to graduate from my school with an AS. I love to spend time with my 30 younger brothers and sisters. I was raised in a polygamous family with five mothers. I've always treated every one of them as if they were my biological mother and am closer to some of their children than I am my own mothers. I honestly believe I was given the best father I ever could have asked for, who, with his amazing wisdom, gave me the best mothers I could have had. I've had a lot of hardships in life and was forced to mature slightly ahead of my age. But I'm extremely happy with what I have and what I've been through and wouldn't trade it for anything. I try to always be positive and look at my hardships as blessings themselves, opportunities to learn and grow. I'm not perfect and far from it, but I truly believe that happiness is not a destination, it's a journey.

Huh.

Interesting. Since I'm completely new to the idea of a weblog I wonder at what future use it could hold. Our world is rapidly changing to a social domain built off of silicon bodies linked to one another by rapidly moving paths of electrons. Now we've 'oped to post messages of ourselves to people we don't and may never know. I'm an intellectual person. I've been through a lot in my short life and am constantly in need of new ways to express myself and the feelings I have towards what I have yet to face. >Funny how I change my personality and writing style when I feel like I'm just interacting with a computer. But oh well, no one will probably ever read this.

If this system of blogging proves comfortably beneficial I'll use it more in times to come. But right now I feel rather strange sharing my thoughts, feelings, and personae in such an open environment.
