This weekend marks a big occasion this year. It’s Valentine’s Day, Chinese New Year, and Mardi Gras. And above it all, the Saints won the Superbowl. You can bet the streets of New Orleans are teeming with cold sweat, howls of hallelujahs, and a sea of lost and broken beads.

And here I am, sitting, starting up my blog.

I opened my first blog on Livejournal way back in 2001. I used to update frequently, then my postings became infrequent and now I almost never login. I’d like to return to writing more. I think back then, it was easier growing up, since you experience so many new things day-to-day. Now, you have to make time to experience things, see new sights, meet new people. As we get older, we get stuck in our daily routines and lose track of the things that excite, motivate and inspire us. I’m desperately seeking that life again.

So, the hope of this blog is tri-fold:

• improve my writing skills
• uncover lost passions
• inspire others in those passions

Ready? Go!
