I had said that i would never keep a weblog, but here i am, naked to the world! Well, not really. I am here for leisure; it’s summer and i need to “get out”. I hope i can benefit from this logging, chatting, documenting lets-see-what-happens blogging. I haven’t kept a diary since i was fourteen years old so i am an amateur at this. We’ll see…

About Me
- Jer
- Passionate about life, mature, slight sense of humour. I hold a Master's degree in English Literature. My ultimate goal is to "get rich or die tryin'" (blame it on pop culture). I also hope to write a book (nonfiction) before i die. I enjoy a good debate whatever the topic, and i always try to create one, when possible. I spend my days job searching, writing poetry and teaching my eager-to-learn pre-schooler. I admire people who are respectful and aren't afraid to 'speak up'. I started this blog as a challenge to myself, to see if my compulsion to write (and to 'speak up') will take me anywhere...
