My 3 Year Sabbatical...

3 years since my last blog post... wow. Let's be honest I never thought I would start writing a blog again, but alas here we are. Many things have changed since my last communication with the world and by world i mean the 10's of 20's of individual's that may stumble upon this.

My ideas of what to blog about have certainly changed. I personally think that writing a blog should not be a task it should be an activity. That was lame... It should be done because you want to not because you feel you have to. I will ask my wife later what word en-composes that expression, she's the smart one, I handle the video game playing and food tasting in our family. That arrangement is working out fairly well so far. With that being said I haven't fully decided what I will focus my post's around. Initial my topic post were financially driven with spatters of social insights along the way. My interests have shifted from 3 years ago along with my opinions as they always should. I couldn't imagine having the same interests and opinions, I guess if I did though i could always go lecture at a University... ha

I don't feel that I am unique or that interesting but I have been in some unique and interesting situations. I am a big believer that just because you were the only one to survive a fiery bus crash doesn't make you a unique and special person. Instead you were part of a unique and special situation. I still want to hear about it but do you really believe that you were anymore special then anyone else in that same unique situation? I fully agree when somebody says that their not a very interesting person, I am not even sure what an interesting person? From my experience somebody who is "interesting" is only ever talking about 1. What they heard from somebody else 2. Some situation that they found themselves in. I don't think I have ever in my life come up with a completely original idea, have you? I could argue that even the great inventors of our history based their inventions on something else that already existed and they are the most interesting people I know of. Well now I am just confusing myself because I just called them interesting.

With all that being said I love reading about things that happen to people because I feel that I can learn so much. My dad always told me that in life knowledge is always better then experience. How many people don't like to hear that? 15 year old Matthew didn't like hearing that. But I agree. Going forward with this blog I think I will start writing a few post's on what I feel were important moments in my life up to this point. If you find them interesting then great, if you don't... I don't get paid to do this so don't worry about it :)

All the best,

Matthew
