Let's Give This a Shot

Well, here we go. After 5 months of Ryan telling me that I should start a blog, I'm finally going to give it a try. I've been in the mood to make a lot of changes, lately. For one, I'm starting a new "diet." More of a lifestyle change, really. Trying to eat more whole foods, and eliminate white sugar and flour, and cut back on dairy. Today's only day 2, so I'm not really sure how it'll go. But hopefully that, on top of a new cardio workout I'm doing 5 days a week, I should be seeing some improvements relatively soon.

I was at my friend Heidi's wedding last week, and they showed a slideshow of her and her husband Tim. Heidi's a pretty crazy girl, and very outgoing. It also seems like Tim (and his whole family) are like that too. I felt like I have been trying too hard to "grow up," so I'm making a conscious effort to be more crazy and spontaneous--without shirking my responsibilities.

And finally, I suddenly felt the need to start writing more. Journaling, fiction, whatever pops in my head. I've been reading Myst (which was also influenced by Ryan). If you've read the books, or played the games, then you know what I'm talking about.

Which leads me to this blog.. I feel like I should write--get my thoughts out. If no one ever reads this, it's still a good exercise for myself. And who knows, maybe someone out there will actually enjoy/relate to me and my ramblings. We'll see. :-)
