I Need To Get Out There
I apologize a bit in advance for the brain dump post.
Before college, my main hobby was programming. I would make websites, learn new languages, and spend most of my time tinkering around with the computer. I spent collage working hard on my degree. Almost every waking moment was used to study, learn and graduate. I am now 4 years out of college, and I have felt like something is missing. I will go to work and spend all day doing what used to make me happy. When I get home, I want to do anything else. I usually end up wandering around aimlessly, doing little tasks around the house. I feel like I need a commitment. I need a project to dive deep into, that is completely different from anything I've done before. I feel like I have spent a lot of my life playing things safe, and not taking chances. I crave breaking out and finding new passions, and a larger community around it.
That is partly why I started writing here. I want a place where I can write down what I'm thinking and log larger projects. Maybe even give me some motivation and accountability. It could even, maybe, become the project I was looking for.
I don't want to write about blogging, nor do I want to write about programming. I want to write about my explorations in my world, about the things that get me fired up for once, or at least document my journey to get there. So bear with me (ha), and hopefully I can write something interesting for you, and for myself.
