It has been a little while since I decided to start this thing, and this is my first real blog, but I'm pretty determined to consistently write in this as much as possible. The first entry was a quote from Emerson I found particularly inspiring on the day I made this thing. It's kinda ironic to use it actually, seeing that it goes against seeing the truth of things in the eyes of others rather than experiencing them first-hand, and by quoting him I'm am promoting the very thing he refutes. But it was quite appropriate anyway. This blog will be the dynamic account of my own experiences and insights. Yeah, I am hoping to make this a contemplative exercise so that for a moment each day I might sit and think of where I am in life, contemplate on it, and center on resolutions I hope to fulfill for my own person growth....So yeah, this is turning out a lot more formal than it should, probably because I rarely write anything exept for school.
But anyway, a little about myself...my name is Ryan and I am from Connecticut, and I go UConn. I have the most beautiful and wonderful and cutest and most cuddly and just overall the most gorgeous and perfect girlfriend in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!....Whom I will marry and ran off to Texas with and have a ton of children with....and we've been going out for over two years...2 years and 3 months on the 30th to be exact. She's a senior at East Catholic High School...where I went last year. I don't really know for sure what my major will be, nor do i have any real thoughts on a career, though major-wise I am considering cognitive science, an interdisciplinary mix of psychology, anthropology, math, linguistics, and philosophy dealing with the nature of the mind. Also, I work and insane 38 hours a week driving a handicap van around campus, although it isn't too bad since i can sit and do hw and relax when there aren't any "pick-ups." I am attempting to learn the banjo, though it's been a while since i have really practiced due to work and school...and of course I absolutely love any kind of music with the banjo in it!!!...especially folk music, which is my favorite with or without banjo, and anything by Bela Fleck. Plus i also enjoy the bands Guster and Josh Joplin Group, both being kinda alternative rock, though Josh Joplin cites his roots in folk music, and it is through him that i first got into this genre. And i HIGHLY recommend that everyone visit www.folkalley.com and check it out. I enjoy other bands as well...like Lifehouse, The Beatles, and other classic rock bands as well. I also have a sister named Jackie who is 14 and a freshman in High School, and my roommate is a guy named Mike whom I've "known" since i was three...our mothers and grandparents being friends and all.
So that's a little about me. It's kinda silly to put all this down since this blog is mostly for myself, and only partly for others to see and share my experiences with me, and hold them in comparison to their own, but it's a good enough start anyway for a personal assessment of what the main aspects of my life are right now, so that off of that I can start to contemplate how each aspect fits into God's plan for me, and by doing so see and make resolutions around the importance of each to me in my life in comparison to the others.
