I feel like I’m in the midst of an identity crisis. Bombarded by too much information, examples, and suggestions I am overwhelmed by the options open to me. But then, I received a text message from my cousin, Ruth. This is what it said: “The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity. These are the choices that measure our life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.”
Hmmnn… as usual she didn’t put the author. This irritates me no end. It rubs against my strict scholarly training on responsible authorship. What else could I do? Google it, of course.
Unfortunately, this proved to be a little harder than I originally thought. I found 10,400 hits on it and the first page did no more than give me links to citations, lists of unlabeled quotes, a mission statement of a pool company, and one article that tagged it with “Unknown” author. Too much for one person already bombarded by too much information. So I dropped it. Let it be tagged: Anonymous. (nyahahaha)
Enough digression. Where was I? Oh yes, identity crises. Now, there I was, mulling over the text message when it suddenly occurred to me. I don’t have to change anything. I just have to be myself! (grin)
So instead of worrying over changing my blog title, I just have to put in a description. Give it a little bit of focus. That’s it, and no more. Yeay!
Look up, guys. Here’s to me! :D

I actually wrote an article yesterday but unfortunately I can’t transfer the darned file ‘cause I don’t have an extra USB to use. The one I’ve been using was my brother’s Sony Walkman thingie and I’d already returned it to him. My dad’s USB was with him since his Acer was with me (nyahah!), so that leaves me with nothing, nada! Man, I really have to buy me one of those things!
And thanks to Danny for the picture... :D
