DIY: Prologue

I'd say "Welcome" but the irony of technology is present in the globalization of virtual interconnectedness and isolation simultaneously; so it'll be as if I'm welcoming all the prospective readers but stealing myself of the human touch all at the same time. The medium that was invented to generate a whirlpool of ideas, knowledge, and relationships is turning that purpose over its head and is generating appropriation, ignorance, and disassociation from each other. It's funny, isn't it? Our ancestors lived with fantasies of the future and hopes for the posterity, and although all of those either are or in the midst of becoming a reality, we're using it as a source of our own destruction.

I, myself, am unclear of the purpose of this blog. Is it to maintain my own sanity? Or is it my way of processing the insanity of the world? Is it to reassure myself of the promising impact that technology can have on us? Or is it simply to get rid of my boredom? I don't know, and frankly I don't think I'll ever know. I don't know if this blog will ever see the light of day or if these words will ever get a chance to be read.

All I know is this: We're all on this bittersweet journey called life. So, my goal is simple. Why not make this journey memorable by making memories, by sharing memories, by meeting people and by learning from each other. Whenever I see a downward spiral in my life or someone else's, maybe everyday or maybe once a month, I'll make a conscious effort to light a match of positivity. Whenever I see ignorance taking the driver's seat, I'll take the steering wheel into my own hands instead of being a passenger. The purpose is simple: It's a DIY to Life, it's a DIY of Life, and it's a DIY for Life.

So, if I get one comment - just one, indicating that this has reached the virtual world and has potential to reach the real world, is when I'll start this journey. So, if anyone's out there, will you?
