Beginnings

One of my professors likes to say that "above all else, (he values) beginnings".

I suck at beginnings, so I'll make this quick, and do my best to make the follow-ups more valuable.

I'm starting this blog as a way to document a portion of my censored life. Hopefully I'll make it a habit to include snippets, visuals, and photos pertaining to the craziness that is my life.

I decided to name it "Joe's Goes" because

1) Potential catchiness/rhyme
2) I hope to include any and all travel. Pictures would be a larger necessity in this aspect, for the sake of any/all readers.

I guess this isn't the worst first impression I've ever made.

A little about me (I'm only going to say this once):

I'm a student in Landscape Architecture, currently studying in the oldest program for a Bachelors in Landscape Architecture. That would be Michigan State University.

Anybody who knows me will learn quickly that I am not a sports fan. I enjoy playing sports, and I enjoy watching sports to a certain point. When it comes to Universities that sell themselves to culture in order to make a quick buck or two, I prefer to separate the athletics from the academics in my head. I'm persistent in this fact, that I see sports in universities as an unnecessary distraction, when we already have enough.

I would be much more willing to give organized sports a chance if major universities would be willing to give full-ride scholarships to video-game buffs, or even internet artisans (webcartoonists, vloggers, bloggers, and the like).

I apologize if/that this will read in an extremely stream-of-consciousness way.
Maybe some people will like that.
My goal is not to have amazing readership or make crillions of dollars: my goal is to practice and perfect expression, specifically that of myself.
Secondary to that, this blog will be a vent for me: I sincerely hope that I don't offend or injure anyone by my language/meanings.

I am a twenty-two year old dude, I've grown up around all sorts of Christians, and am still meeting new types, all sorts of crazies: I love God, and I sincerely hope that my "actions" on this blog will not just be cheesy/preachy.
My desire is to share my life with this culture, maybe make a difference in someone's life, but predominantly I want to be what I am, not ashamed of it, and find ways to share the reasons behind a christian's hope.

I'm assuming that the readership will not be entirely christian/churched/religious/conservative/anything in particular.

The only thing I assume of anybody who reads this, is that you're looking for something.
I just hope I can help point you in the right direction.

Joe
