Rail Trail Rendezvous

Today, we took a trip to the local rail trail. It's this really beautiful bike path located right on the river. Nice and woodsy.
My favorite spot on the trail is this rocky area on the banks of the river. It's right under a huge stone bridge. Normally, you can walk around on the rocks, as exhibited here.













However, due to the recent rainstorm, the area now looks something like this.














Though we weren't able to explore as we usually do, it was nice to admire the rushing river and show how it can really take command of a situation when it wants to.


I like personifcation, okay?

The Actual Start

I'll be honest.
For months, I totally forgot about this whole blog thing.
Really, I did. Several months ago, I decided to look into Blogger to start...well, a blog. You know, just something to relate my adventures* to the Internet. I'll be honest, it'd be so, so cool to be one of those famous Internet stars that the hipster and tumblr sect looks up to, the blog version of Charlie McDonnell or Alex Day. But that wasn't the plan, not at all. I just wanted to have one.
However, moments after quitting out of my newly created account, I sort of-kind of-definitely bailed out on the whole thing, and I haven't logged on since. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I get totally excited and obsess over something for about five minutes (by five minutes, I mean a short period of time) and then totally forget about it. Let's think...scrapbooking, Opuss, a journal, BSG, multiple stories/novels, all examples of this peculiar character trait of mine.
But, now, I'm back. I'm actually back. And I'm going to do everything I can to ensure that I'm active on this blog and will try to use it to the best of my ability. As to what's actually going to be on here...well, I don't really know. This is what happens when you abandon something and don't think anything of it for quite some time. I can probably say that it'll be a fruit salad-esque mixture of personal musings, book reviews, pictures I take, current event recaps, fandom thoughts, and other things I come across.
In short, I'm just here to share my thoughts with the world. Will anyone care? After all, I'm only one blog, a mere shell fragment on the biggest beach in the world. I guess I'll have to see.
In the mean time, I'll think of some good ideas in an attempt to make a good impression in my first few posts. Au revoir**, for now, anyway.

*I use 'adventures' here in the absolute loosest sense. I suppose every day is an adventure in its own way, but if you expect 'Survivor' style feats on this blog, I'm going to have to tell you to move along.
**I'm not nor will I ever be French.
