Introduction

Hi,

Welcome to a snippet of my thoughts. If I know you, then I extend an emphatic "Hiii!" and if not, then an almost equally emphatic "Hello!". I'd like to explain why I've decided to take on this casual venture of beginning a blog; not necessarily for your benefit, but so I can get a starting point to this whole affair, and beginning without thinking is something I often struggle with, so why not do it in a medium I am extremely comfortable with: writing.

So, why did I suddenly (suddenly, by my time table) decide to engage in the introspective, expressive experience of blogging? Simply, I love writing. Without that prerequisite, I wouldn't be here. Aside from that, I have been writing for a few years now on a variety of subjects through mediums like Facebook or just privately, and as of late, I've written less, which I find to be, in some respects, a shame. I have been busy influencing myself in other aspects of growth, so time was not wasted, but as writing is my elevator to my legacy I'd like to get back to it. Still, why not go back to writing on Facebook or simply writing on my computer in the privacy of my quarters?

Well, I will still be doing that, but I have told myself for the most recent few years that I should really expand greatly on some of the interesting (at least, I find them interesting.. go figure) ideas that pop up in my head every day; and I promise you, it is as if an armada invades my mind every day with the sheer volume of thoughts that catch my interest and I ping pong around in my head while going about almost any activity during my day; I have been blessed with a highly capable mind and plan on slowly pushing my potentials from a lovingly intellectual direction. How will a blog help me achieve this, though, I thought. Again, I feel as if a blog about some of my wildest, most interesting (subjectively, selectively speaking, of course) ideas will eventually teach me to control some of my more valuable ideas that I'd like to expound into book form in the future. As I said, I am very proud of my mind and intimate with my writing, so I see this as a valuable exercise in tapping into a potential I feel I have yet to fully exploit and show the world, as well as myself.

For those of you that have known me, you will surely recognize that I am deeply passionate about physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, and anything related to fitness and movement; although I feel that passion will lead me to a successful career that I will fall deeply in love with, I have always put my mind at the forefront save for the past year or so when I "slacked" off my writing to focus on learning and absorbing information in hopes to better myself in my career. I suppose, I'd like to redefine my relationship with myself in a very slow, methodological manner to which my mind and body are equally recognized and this harmony will, to my belief, lead me to a floating point of bliss in my life; if not, then I have confidence I will find another path (not to denigrate my current position, which is a position of relative happiness and satisfaction).

In this blog, I feel I will loosen a bit from social convention and feel more at ease with expressing more thoughts in greater quality than I can in a "status update" on Facebook. Generally, I shy away from engaging in more social media, but, if you qualify this as social media, this seems very well worth it and beneficial on a multitude of levels.

Having said all that, I will still be restricting myself in certain aspects. I do believe in privacy, and as such, my introversionary (made that word up, don't bother looking it up) self has always demanded that certain secrets are better off left within oneself for personal reasons, but more so, for intellectual soundness in that some of my deepest thoughts remain mine until I can publish them in official manner to forever stamp them as mine.

Finally, although I may be more vocal and expressive in some of my ideas, ideologies I must remind you that if you ever meet me in person, you will find that respect, rationality, and an objective lens are held in the utmost regard and implemented as such. However, in here, my mind's eye, I will be bypassing many of these rational safety nets in many instances. Now, that being said, many times, my mind battles a tugglewar with emotional satisfaction and cool, rational objectivity regardless of my later "filters" to reprocess anything my initial gut may have passed initial inspection.

Very well, I think I've said my piece. All that there's left to do is...

Welcome to the psycho-philo-nutri-fito-emotional-intellectual landscape, and remember, this only a glimpse, a snapshot, a string of a far more complex mind at work: Enjoy.
