New Beginnings

Friday, January 8th, 2010 in: News

Welcome, dear friend, to my new website. No doubt you have found your way here because you somehow know me and my plans. Over the next year and beyond, I hope to keep this site updated with my thoughts on a variety of subjects, mostly brought about through my experiences abroad, but occasionally they will probably come from seemingly nowhere.

A little about the site:

It’s gone through several incarnations, and hopefully this one will last me for at least the upcoming year. My last site, paper-machete.com, ran on Movable Type until the templates got borked and I lost the motivation necessary to fix the problem. So I took the easy way out, by completely revamping the site and switching to WordPress. Nothing like reinventing the wheel every time you get a flat!

I’ll be reposting some of my old content from my old site periodically, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to be kept very busy writing about my new experiences. I’m reluctant to use the term “travel blog,” because I don’t really consider myself much of a blogger.

A little about me:

I’m 25 years old, I graduated college a few years back with a degree in Graphic Design and Japanese, and as luck would have it, I’m going to Japan at the end of this month to work on a website for a friend I made back when I studied in Tokyo for a year. It’s funny how things come together sometimes.

I am a collector of skills and hobbies, because I love learning new things and I like to experience and enjoy as much life has to offer as possible. Some of my current major areas of interest include rock climbing, slackline, yoga, martial arts, and yo-yo. I’ve figure skated, danced the tango, and played a variety of sports. There is so much more I wish to try.

I’m hoping this next year gives you a glimpse of what I’m about and my development as a person. It’s going to be an interesting ride.
