hello world

i have no idea where this is going, but i know it's time for me to start. this blog may be all over the place at first because i know i have a lot of thoughts. i just don't know how to organize any of them yet. i'll be writing about all the things that are important and interesting to me. i'm sure there will be lots of nonsense as well, but at least you can also expect a lot of humor, humility, and candor when you read about them. so please, indulge me and i hope you'll stick around a little longer. thanks!
