First entry...HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi.

My name is Jino. This is probably going to be your ordinary blog, but it will also provide you with some insight on certain things you see on a daily basis and some things you don't. I can't promise much, but this blog is designed much more for me to look at 10 years in the future and recollect the times I had in my 20s. Some of my posts will be nostalgic on the 90s, while others could be rants of how current technology puts us in our own world where physical contact with other human beings is no longer necessary to communicate.

Before I go on, I'd like to introduce myself to those of you who do not know me, and even to those that know me personally. I found one of those generic list things that you fill out for favorites.

So back to my reasoning for this blog. I got the idea to create a blog from Philip Wang, the Wong Fu guy. Lame right? He made a lot of sense though. If you can find some, read some of the one page papers you wrote back in middle school or even just one year ago. It's really cool to see how much you have changed not only in your thought process, but also the topics that are most important to you at the time. I remember when I was in 3rd grade, my teacher gave me an assignment to write about my favorite tv show. I remember very clearly that my favorite show was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Thats right, not morphing its morphin. Cool people don't use the g). I used to love that show. During lunch I would play with my friends and I would always be Jason, the Red Ranger. Any show I watch, its always the leader that appeals to me the most. Usually theres a cooler hero like Raphael is to Leonardo, but when its time to be clutch, the leader always has the cool head and know exactly what to do to beat the bad guys. I remember turning on the tv to FOXKIDS to watch Power rangers every day. I loved that show, and it will always be a part of my life.

I know that Power Rangers has had a huge effect on your life as well. That or your parents forced you to learn piano or something. But now that I look back to those days more than a decade ago and so much has changed. I recently graduated from college and my favorite tv show now is SportsCenter (typical guy answer, right?). I will always cherish my childhood, but my mind is no longer encapsulated by just the fantacized world of Gotham City or Metropolis. I now focus on the latest scores for the Niners and Giants, hoping that one days we will return to our days of glory once again, you just wait.

Anyways, I encourage you to start journals, diaries or blogs. It may seem dumb or a waste of time, but think of what you will have 10 years from now. When I turn 32, I'll look at this blog and meet myself when I was 22 and still trying to find my place in this world.

Hopefully, I will keep up the posts and make them entertaining for you and myself.
