January 19th, 2010-First Blog Post.

     In English class, we talked about uploading content onto the internet.  We are on a quest to find out what effect, if any, globalization could have on our country.  Anyway, that is what finally pushed me into creating a blog.  I have wanted to create one for sometime, but have unfortunately never gotten around to it.  Here I am, though, making my first blog post; it's kind of exciting, at least to me.

     As you'll see, the name of the blog is "I'm lovin' it." Those of you that know me know I am a shift manager at McDonalds and am very proud of my current position.  That's where the idea for the name of my blog came from.  However, to clarify, it means more than just the slogan for McDonalds.  In my blog, I hope to communicate why I'm "lovin' it."  With so much negativity in the world, and the constant downward spiral we tend to be in economically, I still hope to convey a positive message to those I spend time with.  Since I normally am more articulate typing or writing than I am speaking, I thought a blog would be a nice way to communicate my thoughts (that and because my girlfriend, Hannah, always wants to know what's on my mind, haha).

     Speaking of my girlfriend, today is our 2 month anniversary, so happy 2 months, babe. :)  A lot of the reason I'm so happy and have been so happy recently is due to her and how much time we've gotten to spend together.  I can't wait for the coming months with you, Hannah. You're the best!

     I would like to share one thing that's on my mind due to my English class.  As I said, the class is currently exploring the idea of a 'flat world.'  A 'flat world' is simply a metaphor explaining the advances in technology and business models worldwide are creating a more equal playing field between countries worldwide.  The author, Thomas Friedman, tends to look at this in a positive light. I, however, am more skeptical at how 'equal' the world would end up being if everyone gets to an equal level with technology, etc.  What do you think?  The book is kind of a dull read at first, but his perspective is fairly intriguing and promotes some strong literary analysis, so for all of those who have taken advanced English classes, you would probably enjoy it.  There will be more said about this in coming posts, perhaps...that is, if anything sticks out to me that I have to share.

     In the coming days, I will try my best to update as much as possible.  Some days may pertain to work, some may pertain to school, and on occasion, I might share deep thoughts that have been nagging my brain.  We will just have to see, though.  I would appreciate it, though, if you continue to check my blog.  I would like to get a nice group of people that actually care about what I have to say.  It may start slowly, but be patient. I think in time, you will enjoy reading what I have to say...at least, that's what I hope. :)
