First post!

FINALLY...

After almost 3 months of procrastination, I've finally gotten down to writing my first official blog post for "Thoughts, 'to go' ".

Keep in mind, I did not come empty-handed! I have listed a few legitimate reasons/excuses why I'm starting this so late...

1. I've been working 6 days a week (I'm crazy, I know.) since school ended.
2. I wasn't really sure what this blog should be about. (I was thinking about potentially using this blog as part of my writing portfolio.)
3. I'm really good at procrastinating. (Countless hours of watching TV, playing Restaurant City, talking on the phone, and attempting to play tennis are just some of the many time-wasting activities I've done this summer.)

------------------------------------------

Regardless, I'm here now! So I guess I should start explaining what I've decided to blog about.

*crickets chirping*

...... *crunch* eww
......*silence*



I still don't really have a main topic/focus!

However, I have decided upon a few restrictions. Such as, there won't be any crazy/angry/psychotic/emo-type blogs here. (Those can be found elsewhere if you know where to look.) Also, I will try to keep the "Today I did this... and this... and this...." blogs to a minimum. These thoughts are purely my own (unless I mention otherwise), and I am definitely looking forward to seeing some sort of development in my writing skills.

I also want to redesign this ugly (sorry blogger) layout as well, once I get my non-existent (for now) web skills. Maybe I'll try make some flash stuff too, and if I'm feeling really ambitious, I'll whip up some stuff on photoshop.

-----------------------------------------

Just to get the ball rolling, some ideas for the layout!

When I first thought of this blog, I think I was hungry. (What can I say? I love food.) "Thoughts 'to go' " was imagined in my head as a Chinese take-out box with random stuff/ideas/thoughts spewing out from it. The idea was that I could blog anywhere, just as long as I had wi-fi and my iPod Touch. (ie. taking a meal 'to go'...take-out box... get it?) I guess this is a bit old-fashioned, I mean I could've just made up a Twitter account, but I decided to make a blog instead.

I guess I should start looking at more take-out boxes and figuring out some sort of logo. Maybe a box with my face on it? Haha... no. I'll think of something good. :)
