Why did you decide to use Blogger as your blog platform? I'm trying to decide what is the best option out there. When I used to try to blog here, the themes, wallpaper and general look & feel felt very generic and inadequate. Now, it looks like the good folks at Google suped things up a bit and made it easier for people to have nicer looking pages.
On a completely unrelated note, let me tell you about what happened to me a few weeks ago while I was out enjoying the summer. I went blading along the lakeshore in Toronto with a couple friends who wanted to go jogging. They jogged while I bladed. I don't jog, period. Anyway, at about the 3rd hour or so of blading, I was going quite fast along the trail really enjoying the wind, the speed and the weaving in and out of human traffic. I was able to do some thinking and see parts of the city that I don't really get to see. It was a lot of fun, when suddenly in front of me is a small group of people who were stationary appeared. I simply weaved in front of them and thought nothing of it until I stumbled over what they were walking around - a small street sign. I tripped, and fell on a biker and the both of us went face first into the pavement. My momentum took me by surprise and I literally smacked my face into the ground and hurt my wrists in the process. I quickly got up, brushed myself off and tried to ignore the crowd of people nearby who were rushing to my attention. I wanted to take off, but I was kind of in shock to be honest. One lady with a baby carriage came up to me and insisted that I check my teeth and asked if I needed anything. I said I was fine. But I wasn't fine. I spat out blood and checked my teeth. Good thing they were okay. Turns out I cut the inside of my lip and bruised it up pretty badly. The nice lady gave me a bunch of baby wipes and a small towel for me to clean myself up with. I eventually went to the hospital to get a tetanus shot and a stitch in my upper lip. This is the 2nd time I had to get stitches.
At the time, I didn't even think much about the kind lady who came to my assistance, but now that I think of it, I am glad that she was there to give me those towels. Very kind.
It's been a few weeks since my little accident and everything is fine now, but my left wrist still kind of hurts. I'm sure in due time, all will be fine.

Evolution
In the last few years, I've been able to experience so much that I never thought would be possible. I am glad to see that my life has been a series of progressions, achievements and challenges overcome. It feels like I'm on the cusp of yet another adventure and opportunity to meet new people, experience new things and to see more of the world. I love it.
I'm a dreamer. I don't believe I've always been like this, but I've become like this. I want to see the world, befriend new and interesting people who challenge me to change the way I see things.
It's crazy to think back ten years and see where you were and what you were doing and then to imagine how much faster the next ten years will come and how much more change you'll experience.
It's going to exciting.
