Allow me to re-introduce myself

What will I learn from this?

It's a question I ask myself very rarely. To put it mildly, I lack foresight. I live in the moment, and try not to trouble myself with the unavoidable hassles that the future holds for me. I like to think that my lack of foresight is more than compensated for by my superior hindsight. So while I often come up stumped when asked, "what do you (I) expect to learn from this?" I almost always have an answer when asked, "what did you (I) learn from this?"

Unfortunately, the thing I have learned the most is that there are lots of things that I shouldn't have done. Fortunately, I quickly learn not to do these things again. Unfortunately, I have a short memory when it comes to these lessons, and may commit the same error a multitude of times before my lesson is finally (if ever) learned. Personally, I blame the liberal media and video games for a solid 90% of these mistakes, the other 10% being split between alcohol, impressionable co-eds, and my good looks.

However, I hope to shift paradigms from hindsight, to foresight, and since the purpose of this blog is for me to share my journeys in gaining knowledge, I find myself finally asking the question...
