Thus the prologue begins.

Here I begin my running "prologue." Although I seem to have no problem spacing out and thinking about absolutely nothing (and to those of you that say that's impossible to do, I give you living proof), I also frequently find myself caught in a running dialogue in my head dealing with various musings and pointless thoughts. I don't know if this is normal. It probably isn't, but I don't really care seeing as I often find myself quite entertained by them. So why then, you might ask, the word choice of "prologue?" Despite these random ideas and sometimes shallow thoughts I encounter, this choosing of vocabulary goes slightly deeper. The choices I make today, the thoughts I think now, the actions I undertake here, are a precursor to what will come--a prologue for tomorrow. Shakespeare writes in The Tempest, "What is past is prologue." My past has helped shape me into who I am in the present I am living, and this present will shape me into who I am in the future. Everyday is an introduction to tomorrow. Everyday gives something new to stem from,--a new experience, another mistake made, a lesson learned, a celebration to be had, and many more idle thoughts created. So past, present, and future, I give you my prologue...
