What the hell am I doing?

In recent weeks, I've been reading with great interest the blogs (and watching the vlogs) of others. Call it voyeurism, but I think there's this deep down need to observe and ultimately understand what makes other people tick.

No, I'm not an anthropologist. Just curious.

And so, thinking through I think that blogging will provide some sort of catharsis for me. In the MBA, they pound and pound and pound into you that you can't possibly lead other people effectively without first understanding yourself. So I'm hoping through this process, I'll get little epiphanies here and there and if other people happen to stumble across this, maybe they can shed a little light on what limited information is provided.

Speaking of which, I don't even know how I got started on this. I think it started with my sister-in-law showing me a Brotherhood 2.0 vlog called Accio Deathly Hallows, where Hank Green sings about his eager anticipation of the last Harry Potter instalment. I thought this was pretty funny that someone had enough passion for a series to write a song like this. Fast forward a year and I decide I want to hear that song again and discover that it is but one of a series of posts between two brothers in an experiment involving textless communication. Anyway, having viewed the evolution of these vlogs, I noticed that not only did they get better at making them but also managed to inspire others with their whole Nerdfighter movement.

You cannot fault these guys, they're making the world a more positive place in their fight for awesomeness.

I don't have such lofty plans for this little blog. Well, if people actually knew me deep down they would know anything I think of always has grand designs and ambitions, but not this time. The more I glean about myself, the more I benefit.

Anyway, I perhaps should lay some ground rules because organic growth of these sort of things tend to meander and not come to fruition. A daily blog about anything. My choice. This is a unique experience for me because I've only really been choosing/deciding for myself for the last 5-10 years.

No, I am not 12 years old. In between work or study at nights, I pick a topic and type. Sounds simple. I'm sure it isn't.
