Intro

Hello readers, recently a few friends have convinced me to create a blog. I figure the best way to start is to introduce my readers to myself. But this will not be a simple questonare with questions such as "What's your favorite color?", I want the reader to have a good understaning of me before they read my thoughts on this blog.

Overall, I am an indivudial who prides himself on being an upbeat, positive person. Of course I still live with the same insecurities and self doubts we all tend to have. For example, the fact that I have never had a girlfriend makes me terribly insecure. I doubt my appearance and personality to no end. I often try to mask these insecurities by giving a facade of confidence that does not really exist. In fact, I often dread and struggle meeting new people because I am afraid of judgement and embarassment.

Although these problems do circulate through my brain, they only make up about ten percent of my daily thoughts. The things I live for in life are my family and friends. Without my fantastic parents I would never have become a person I am proud of being. They inspire me to be a better person and to raise my children in the future with the same moral foundation they have infused in me. My friends are some of the best I could ever ask for. When I moved here in fifth grade I took me a while to settle in. Over time, I started to break my way in and pick my new group of friends. I do not regret my choices for a second. Two of my other passions include music and sports. In my opinion, music is the greatest tool of expression. One can depect heartbreak, joy, confusion, and any other emotion just through a simple cluster of chords or pitches. There is nothing I enjoy more than sitting down at a piano and letting my emotions run through my fingers. My other passion, athletics, I owe a large portion of who I am today to. Through athletics you learn hard-work percerverance, how to deal with defeat and success while making many memories and friends along the way. There is nothing that helps me relax more that stepping on to a sheet of ice and letting the icy breeze of the arena slide across my face as I glide down the frozen surface.

So this is the framework of who I am. Hopefully many of you will read this again and learn more about my opinions and thoughts. Thanks for reading, come back soon.
