something new (my blog thesis?)

I always said I wouldn't be starting a blog until I moved away from where I currently am and had people who would want to read about my new life. That's not where I am. I'm contently happy in Lexington working at camp. I am however taking the advice of my friend and roommate, who undoubtedly took the advice of our friend and not roommate, and will begin putting my thoughts somewhere other than my head. I've never really thought of myself as a writer or even someone who keeps a journal. It stems from my fear of writing about the show I watched that day or the trivial activities I may do each day. In my head blogs are this thing people take on to share grand adventures or monumental ideas, not a place for your everyday thoughts. I have learned from my two friends that yes, blogs are for what I thought they were for, but even more they are for exactly what I thought they wouldn't be for. 

So here I am writing my first blog entry. I'm excited and terrified I will just begin writing about grill cheese and 90210 and trying to make something out of nothing to compare to whatever I think a blog should be about. But truthfully if I've got nothing to write then I just don't sign in, it's not like this is some hard leather bound journal sitting next to my bed waiting for my daily scribbles. The thought is also running through my head that this post is some sort of thesis that will entice people to read about my life, so I've got to make it good. 

I'll end with a disclaimer: 

I am a chef, I love to cook, and I plan out my vacations based on where I will be eating, but contrary to the title of my blog, I don't think I'll be posting many recipes on here. The concept came to me, that if when I plan a menu I do it one recipe at a time, and life is about living in the moment, and I think I'm here to write about where life has me and is taking me, why not make this blog like I make a menu: one recipe at a time.
