We like to wonder about these things together...

An introduction

“Don’t believe a teaching just because you heard it from a man that’s supposed to be holy, or because it’s contained in a book that’s supposed to be holy, or because all your friends and neighbors believe it. But whatever you’ve observed and analyzed yourself and found to be reasonable and good, then accept that and put that into practice.” - Budha

I've been considering starting a blog for awhile now, and was just motivated by a friend who began a traveling one. Although I do travel often and live out of the country, this isn't really travel-specific. My goal is to spread the knowledge I'm exposed to everyday at school and around, and it will probably include:
  • Random bits of philosophy and criticisms
  • Cultural anecdotes (I do live and study in Spain, things come up)
  • Political epiphanies (I've only just began taking poli-sci classes, so there are bound to be at least some), this includes what I consider important news-stories
  • Biological fascinations (I'm in bio-II and LOVE researching everything)
  • Jokes, quotes, and random humor
  • Anything else I think is worthwhile of sharing and wondering about (though I will warn you, I am a notorious over-analyzer)
I hope this helps you figure out what this is all about, though in reality, it's about almost everything. Comments, opinions, and constructive criticism are always welcome. If I knew everything I wouldn't have so many things to wonder about, but please be considerate and thoughtful. Here's to the pursuit of knowledge in the interest of a better world.
