my very first blog ever

And hello to the world. there's one sad thing about the 21st century. i have nothing to say that hasn't already been said.

so it's really a healthy sense of narcissism that's making me do this. Yes, i'm smart. Yes, i have a hell of a lot to say. and guess what? maybe you will read it and be inspired. maybe even outraged. I'm just one faceless, semi-anonymous voice in the world but damn it, i WILL have my say (Even if it is for a brief pointless moment) and somebody out there is going to listen.

so here i am. and there you are. sitting somewhere in a corner of the world that i may know nothing about, completely different from me and everything that i am, reading into me with a stranger's eye and getting out of it what you will.

Somewhere along the way, i just might say one thing, among a million things that i'm going to say and those words might change your life in a small way (or so i hope). And when that happens, though i may never know it, my dream will have come true.

I start this blog for my grandmother. I'm sorry you lost your brother Avva. And I dedicate this blog to all the people who are suddenly confronted with their own mortality. life is fragile and death is certain.

So carpe diem, dear friends.
