the first...

So here I am. I'm terrible when it comes to even checking my email, and what am I doing? Dear God, I'm starting a blog. I know it takes dedication, and I don't really know what I'll be talking about, but heck I'm doing it anyway... Actually, I think I tried to do this once, and it ended up being terribly depressing. It turned into some kind of perpetual venting session, and looking back on it I see I went about it all wrong. Focusing on the negative whether on a small space on the internet or out there in the big world is never really going to get me anywhere. For now, I think I'll just record little bits of my mind everytime I feel like it. I'll try to type up something every week or so... I hope. Well, I'll try to anyways. I don't really know if anyone will read it, and frankly I wouldn't really mind if that happened. Perhaps I'll make this some sort of personal-and-yet-posted-out-there-for-the-whole-world-to-read-if-they-knew-where-to-go journal? A cathartic sort of blog for myself? Yeah.. let's go with that for now. It's open-ended and I think I like it starting out that way... I guess my choice of blog title is quite fitting after all. "The Hopeful Pursuit" ... of what, you ask? We'll have to see, now won't we..?
