My reason for this blog...

I've been an on-and-off blogger for the last 3 years - inconsistent, random, sporadic, and lazy.  After the recent hacking of my Gmail account, I had to delete all of my previous blogs, which included a personal blog, an online dating blog, a fitness/exercise blog (with two other friends) and my freelance photography blog.  So we're back at the beginning.  A new Gmail account, a new blog...

I would really like to start utilizing this medium as a way for me to just speak my mind about whatever it is that is going on in my life.  So, here I am, attempt #1,256,345 at blogging.  (Yes, the number is exaggerated, but probably a close estimate).

A Brand New Day (from "The Wiz")

Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for

Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?

Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness

Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty

It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?

Today is a brand new day.  A day filled with optisim and hope.  A day filled with the future.  And with this brand new day, I am starting a brand new blog (and maybe even a brand new me).

I hope you join me on this journey, wherever it may take me/us...

(And I will be recreating my photography blog, it just may take a little while.)
