Well, hello there. I see you have made it to my new blog. My name is Julie and I am a graphic designer who enjoys running, kickboxing, perusing the internet, trivia contests and socializing. Wow, that was probably the most generic list ever. I should just go ahead and add "music," friends"and "reading" while I am at it. (In case you were wondering, indeed, I do enjoy all those things.) But let's cut to the chase. Why did I feel the need to start a blog?
I think my main motivation was my own curiosity. After leaving school and entering the working world, I found that learning new things does not come as easily. In a working environment, you learn how to do your job well, and occasionally learn new skills associated with your job, but the point of it is not education for the sake of education. After seventeen years of schooling, this was quite a change of pace. I was not learning new facts at an almost constant rate (or at least attempting to do so). So what to do about this?
Blogging seemed like an interesting way to motivate myself to learn and analyze information and to engage in an active dialogue with the greater internet community. Yes, I am talking about you! I would like this to be a place where I can write about new ideas that interest me, popular (or not so popular) news pieces, and share inspirational content. This "inspirational content" may tend towards the artistic, but remember, I was an art major in college. It seems logical, doesn't it?
In closing, I would like to encourage any opinions or suggestions. Just try to play nice.
