Event Horizon

Iv'e hit that point: Event Horizon. Iv'e sat here for minutes and minutes trying to figure out what theme I will assign to my blog. Many ideas jumped from synapse to synapse, prodding at the surface of my brain, arching like a feral electric snake. I can be a very precise person and the names of which I title things must always be drawn from spontaneous thought but at the same time, be near perfect. However, now, there is no longer enough fuel to turn back.

I discovered the name for this blog when I attempted to make a call on my cell phone. I noticed that the poor bastard's only response was, "Data Roaming." I can only imagine how it feels: stuck in a swirling vortex of vertigo, disconnected from the known Universe, its data receptors swiping at a digital fabric of nothingness. I thought to myself, as I waged my own battle for (blogging) direction, "This is quite fitting."

So I suppose this blog will be an attempt for me to "plug into" the world around me. Iv'e spent my life on a conquest for adventure. When I was a kid, it was easy. I could walk outside, pick up a stick and go battle a massive ogre. My parents weren't especially happy when they saw me beating the shit out of their prized Weeping Willow next to the pond. Nonetheless, I had fun and was creating my own adventure. Now, due to the confines of my waking world spent studying and wooing people into accepting my laziness, the quest has become much more difficult. The seeds of adventure are sown scarcely and the fruits, they ripen slowly.

With every post, I will introduce something new that I have discovered roaming the world and what I think about it. I do enjoy science, so I would imagine a lot of the material will come from that field. I also enjoy writing, so don't be surprised to find fragments of an imagination stuck on the Swings. You know, that ride you can find at the carnival that invites you to a centrifugal party of glee and vomit.

So, with that said, Data Roaming activated.
