Post Script

I don't believe that I ever wrote the obligatory inaugaural post for this blog. There are a lot of things that led up to me deciding to start a blog(again).
The most obvious is my recent purchase of a new phone. Last week I believe that I moved up a few notches in the technological world with the purchase of my blackberry curve. It has become my new best friend( to the annoyance of my best friend). There is an endless list of great features of the phone (one being the Pandora for Blackberry app that I cannot sing enough praise about), but the fact that I can update my blog seamlessly throughout the day is an ideal pro.
I also had a birthday, and decided that I needed to find an immediate outlet, no matter how trivial, to get my thoughts out. The past few months, I have really been living most of my life both physically and mentally at my job. I'm learning that the only way to keep myself at a high enjoyment of life is to balance my work and personal life out.
The name, Despair is Criminal, came from a fortune cookie I read a few months back. I had fallen into a rut, and while eating chinese one evening I read the fortune. I think it sums up the direction I am taking my life in, as well as the point of me writing all of this. My goal is to try to not become too self aware with the fact that this blog is public while writing in it (not that I am insenuating that anyone will even read it), as this has been the reason for demise of any previous blog I have begun.

There are no rules. And no expectations. This just an outlet for me, James.
