it has been over one year since i started my account on buzznet. first i started by blogging with a bit of prose and the rare poem. after just a few days, buzznet, words and i somehow did not seem to go together, although i like the idea of bringing in a picture with the words. i created my first blog on blogger -- www.intutum.blogspot.com -- and thus wrote what was a first story after many years of not writing anything other than technical and scientific papers. yes, in honouring the past, buzznet is very dear to me. i have met interesting and loyal people on buzznet, the kind of people you want to have as your friends either online or offline, or both. it is a place that i return to, it is sort of like home: you don't spend as much time there as you used to, but you always return.
looking back at the past year is a dizzying experience. many dreams have become realities, and for the most part that life that was once mine but was never quite the one i chose has given way for this life, the one i wanted all along, the one that i did not have the courage to allow myself to have. i am at present in the throws of a rather tight schedule and a lot of travel. my writing has moved offline, and my blogging has gotten lighter. i shoot more pictures than ever after about a 20 year break, some of which even hold up some form of both quality and aesthetics. i write to my heart's delight and my ego's desperation. between consulting, writing, aikido, karate. zen and my network of friends throughout the world i have no idea what the future holds for me, it is one big adventure, it is my life.
