Pettifogging

I named my blog “Pettifogging” because the word means “focusing on the petty or trivial” and, well, that seems to be what I do whenever I post. I need to change that.

I feel this desire to do something creative but have lack of both ideas and drive to act upon it. This will soon drive me mad. I need to get my act together and make some headway toward giving my life meaning and purpose. It’s time to create, to learn and to spend time on quality activity instead of passive activity.  

Therefore, I’m wrangling this blog out of being merely a stream of pics and video.  Instead, I hope to document my path toward using my time productively and positively.  I hope to outline projects, exhibit their outcomes, muse on topics and share those things that inspire me to better myself.  And if I occasionally find something that makes me smile, hey… there’s nothing wrong with passing that along too.

Why even bother blogging the process?  To keep me honest, to help keep my focus and hopefully to inspire maybe one other person to do the same.

Nothing groundbreaking, I know, but I need this.  I can spend my life feeling like I’ll never make headway and die having lived an unfinished life or I can finally make my stand and turn this around.
