Life is Fun... an explanation

"Pooh can't describe the Uncarved Block to us in words; he just is it."

There are so many things in life I have questioned lately. Alfred University, though draining at times, has opened my world and forced me to question everything I do. Sometimes I think it is one of my flaws, that I think too much, but I cannot accept things as they are or as they are presented. Basically I just feel there is more to this thing called, Life. "When you discard arrogance, complexity, and a few other things that get in the way, sooner or later you discover that simple, childlike, and mysterious secret known to those of the Uncarved Block: Life is Fun." The Tao of Pooh
For the next year I will be studying in Denmark. Many people ask me why Denmark and to be honest, I really don't know. Life can be similar to climbing a tree. For me though, my life has always been compared to Holmdel Park and for those of you who ran XC with me in High School, I'm sure you've all heard this plenty of times. Each race has a beginning and and end, and let me tell you, what's in between goes differently everytime you run it. The only way to actually run your best in one race though, is to train on other courses. And so, in perhaps this cheesy metaphor I'm trying to say that similarly with running, in order to live your life to the fullest, you need to train on other courses too, go to other places to see what they have to offer and use that training when you return back to the original course. I suppose that's why I chose Denmark.
The plan is to post here once a week. I assure you though this is not going to be full of drama. I myself am usually against all these online journals and reading about other peoples drama filled lives has never really excited me. This is basically to give others another perspective on life and the way things are, somewhere else, on the other side of the world. Feel free to e-mail me too if you have any responses or are just bored and want to chat. It's crazy that I'm going to be so far away and I'm definitely going to miss people!!
