For a while now I've felt like the internet breeds a overall cynicism. The 'hive-mind' of the internet is a negative place regardless of what it applies to. Of course, I'm not saying that everybody on the internet is negative or pessimistic but the bulk of people are (and maybe that applies to 'real life' too). I've been guilty of this also, my other blog is a place where I spew anger onto the internet because it makes me feel better when I have nowhere else to put it.
Lately though, I've felt like an oddity. I am not always so negative, though my girlfriend would not hesitate to call me a "hater" so maybe I am. This blog is my attempt to breed a little more optimism into my mindset and attitude. There are lots of things that I feel good about and look forward to and this blog will be my outlet for that. It's a bit of a challenge for myself, lets see if I can be purely optimistic without any of my trademark aggression creeping in (and I'm sure it will from time to time).
This will be a place that I will talk about things I'm looking forward to, things that are exciting me, things that I feel good about. Like my other blog, it won't be bogged down to any one thing and I will most likely discuss multiple topics that cover a wide foray of areas. The main difference will be this blog will be a place that optimism and hope grows. A place that I can reflect a more cheerful disposition in the hope that it will maybe help me be a less pessimistic person.
