I had planned to do more blogging than I have actually thus far done. Life, as I’m sure it is for you, has been very busy sometimes.
Here is my “mission statement” for bored beyond belief: I want to write about the transitions that I am faced with over the next year.
For example, I’m finishing a dissertation and doctoral program; I’m moving from the west coast to the mid-west; and I’m starting a new job in September. I have the opportunity (necessity?) to become familiar with a whole new city, apartment, set of colleagues and friends, work schedule, etc.
I also want this blog to not only be personal, but also about larger topics such as politics, society, culture, or ethics that affect my life in some way. I hasten to add that I had another blog that lasted approximately two years that was mostly focused on religion and politics with the occasional post about personal things. I want to flip that: have a blog more focused on personal things while offering the occasional post about politics, ethics, social issues, and of course Paris Hilton.
