Hello World!

Well.

Hi :)
I don't exactly know where to start. See, this is a problem I have. When I write a book, or a short story, or an essay or anything really, I always write the end first. I hate beginnings. And this, being a very first post, is a beginning. Not that I don't like beginnings. I just hate writing them. So this first post is going to be jumbled up and have absolutely no bearing on any following posts, except I guess as an explanation.

This blog was borne out of of three things, as follows.

1) The world is awesome.
Yes, it is. Think about it. There are so many things on this tiny blue planet that are absolutely spectacular. Especially the things that seem ordinary. They're only ordinary because we're used to them. It doesn't make them any less extraordinary. If you look at it with a bit of wonder captured in your eyes, you CANNOT believe it. Or at least, that's the way I view it.

2) I am infinitely curious.
It's a fatal flaw, really. A few years ago, a few friends and I were hanging out in the quarry behind my house. I strayed a little too close to a 'cliffside' (only about thirty feet from the edge to the ground. But it was a steep fall. With lots of pointy rocks.) because I wanted to look over the age. Needless to say, I slipped and dangled out over a bunch of sharp pointy rocks. My friends, in their rescue mission, only managed to cause my best friend to fall with me. At this point we were dangling from the same root. I won't go into details, but we both survived, albeit scratched, and my friend had a gigantic bruise on her hip that she showed off until it faded. Because of this infinite curiousity, I like to research things for fun. I can tell you a lot about Rasputin, the Cretaceous period, Dandelions, Sharks, so on and so forth. I'll admit, some of it is useless knowledge, but it's interesting knowledge nonetheless and makes for good conversation starters and helping one keep up a sense of wonder.

3) I like to share. :)
The first rule of kindergarten has always been foremost in my brain.

So this blog is an exploration of the world. Some of it far away, some of it right outside my door. Sometimes the posts will be long and rambling and filled with facts and have tons of knowledge just crammed in. Other posts will be short and sweet and just a 'WOAH! Check this out!' I'll try to sort of group them together thematically (eg. 5 posts on the ancient world. 5 posts on plants) but I know that that resolution will quickly fall apart. I'll try to post everyday. Key word try. But, I'm actually going to try and upkeep this blog. My last one fell apart after three entries when I found that my life is rather blah. But this one's about the world, and there are way to many possibilities to allow me to get lazy.

So, lets go adventuring.
