a start?

i've been feeling compelled to start this blog as a way to sort of nudge myself into being more actively attentive and critically aware. it seems like, in knowing that i'm making a commitment here, i'll pay more attention to the goings-on around me, and really think about the purpose of things and their relationships to other things. i'm excited about working on gathering my thoughts, and learning how to quickly present them in cohesive little bits. these writings will also act as a sort of documentation for weekly living. i've not got the best memory, so this promises to be a useful endeavour.
