For those of you who don’t know me…my name’s Justin.

 

This is my blog.  It’s called he’s on wheels well…because I use wheels to get around.  :) As you’ll see in the side bar of my blog (look to your left right now) my TEDx talk explains the viral inflammation that caused me to use a wheelchair for the foreseeable future.  Now, don’t get me wrong – I am not “CONFINED” to a wheelchair.  I simply use it to get around.  Get in the same room with me and I’ll show you how. :)

I wanted to reintroduce myself because it feels like it has been an actual year since I’ve even opened the “New Blog Post” link on my favorites tool bar.  And that really bugs me.  Why? Because I see myself as a man of…quality.

I don’t like to half-do things. It really bugs me when people don’t put their all into something.  Whatever the task is at hand, I firmly believe that you must do it with all of the energy that you CAN commit to it.

And it is for that reason…I haven’t blogged. I really haven’t made a quality, legitimate, interesting blog in months.  It actually bothers me.  It doesn’t quite keep me up at night but it does make me constantly feel like I need to get on top of things. Like I have this place on the internet that people may be looking toward to hear something from me and … silence.

This past semester, I would be working on my e-Portfolio, which is essentially a large deposit of everything I’ve learned and applied to myself and others over the past two years of my graduate program, and would feel as if I was just DYING to post something to he’s on wheels. ANYTHING would have made me happier than consistently seeing a relatively empty blog.

But…no.

I promised myself that I wouldn’t jump back onto the blog train until I could routinely sit down to commit honest and undistracted attention to sharing my thoughts with the world through my little space on the internet.

Well, my friends, we have arrived at that moment.

I have been doing a lot of thinking over the past few months and much of it was on private matters.  All of these things (from my finding the perfect job to moving back in with my parents to working hard enough to pay the bills to really debating what my trajectory is going to be moving forward in life) were relatively private, but as I reach some decisions I feel much more comfortable with the idea of sharing them online.

I’m not the most private person ever, but sometimes….it’s important. Over the next few months, as I roll out some big, big news (i.e., who’s my employer!?) and changes, I wanted to have a place to be able to consistently share it.

This is it. This is actually it.

Stay tuned, folks. hesonwheels is back.
