Here it goes...

I must start off by saying that I would not place myself in either of the aforementioned categories of Saint or Sinner, but nonetheless seem to possess the vices of both. Whether I am a product of my environment, or was just born with major character flaws, I have found that as I have grown up, my morals have only been further compromised, my beliefs deeply questioned, and goals morphed and in some cases forgotten. I find myself as many other twenty somethings do, wondering what the fuck I am doing with my life. BUT dont get me wrong, I have the best time. My family and friends have saved my life time and time again, stories to which many a people can relate and I will divulge in bits over time. I have a great time and tend to be that person getting lots of the laughs, usually me getting laughed at I would say. I love to overindulge, be it drinking, working out, and without making this sound too much like a personal ad, having sex. But on a much more intellectual level, I am fascinated with classical cultures, anthropology, and learning anything and everything I can. Im very much a sponge; tell me something once and I will never forget it.

I hope that in writing this blog, I can kindof tell my stories, get advice from others, and have a reason to write down my ideas and aims in a forum that forces me to constantly remember they exist. So this is my journey, from South Jersey, to Siena, Italy, to Siracusa, Sicily, with a bit of DC along the way. Il mio viaggio to try and find the person I am supposed to be, somewhere between Saint and Sinner, with all the friends, family, food, fashion, learning, love, and lust along the way.
