Aloha...

and welcome to my Blog. This is something I've been wanting to do for a while and I finally got the nerve and time to get it set up. I'm excited to introduce a side of me that a lot of you maybe haven't seen as I share my thoughts and observations on everything from politics to religion to everyday life. I'm hoping that this will be not only an inside look into my mind for everyone who reads, but also a way to force myself to think about things past the surface level and eventually come to a better understanding of myself and the world around me.

My goal is to post one entry every week so that I'm able to put thought, time, and effort into every single blog and make it something worth reading. In all honesty, this is new to me and I can't even begin to tell you where this is going to or what this is going to be like. But one thing I know for sure is that it's going to be my perception of the truth in its purest form. None of this sugar-coated propaganda that we're constantly being fed, but, rather, an opinion or statement that sparks discussion, originality, and, inevitably, disagreements.

I feel blessed to have been a part of so many experiences and trials and am looking forward to sharing some of them with you. The attached picture is a satellite view [courtesy of Google Earth] of the beautiful city of Kihei in Maui, Hawaii. I learned a lot about myself in the time there and since it’s an apparent beginning to a lot of discoveries in my life, I thought it appropriate to start off the whole blogging experience this way. Enjoy!
