Why am I writing a blog?

Main reasons for my blog
-staying connected with my family
-a way of writing out thoughts and beliefs
-a way of explaining myself because of my outlandish claims

My time here at college is awesome, california is a lot of fun and hard work.  I am really close to finishing my first year of college and I am really discovering my intellectual side.  Lately I have had to much information going in and to many ideas to ponder so I am slowly going to start really diving into some subjects I have been thinking about.  Being away from my home, katy, family, and close friends I have been almost in a seclusion, and been able to experience a different culture.  It is so crazy how liberal california is, its also crazy how much I agree with them too.  I have really been getting into my philosophy class and I came across one philosopher Cornel West.  His progressive way of thinking has really captured my thought.  Just the word progressive sets my mind on a crazy thought pattern of rethinking, changing, and motivates my motivation.  I get all giddy sometimes just thinking about my freedom to choose my own beliefs.  Too long have I been held back by constraints.  In writing these blogs I am going to discover and share the new intellectual me.  So if you have read this, and are somewhat interested, I will probably have 3 or 4 blogs posted this weekend, and my goal is to at least do 2 blogs per week.

off to learn some more
