La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  Open in new Window., worship leader  Open in new Window., small business owner  Open in new Window., songwriter  Open in new Window., aspiring author  Open in new Window. and freelance nonfiction writer  Open in new Window. with a chemical engineering degree  Open in new Window..

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11.
*Writing* Hovering around 200.

Writing:
(1) *Thumbsdown* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Nope.
(2) *Thumbsdown* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Nope.

(3) *Thumbsup* Search top blogs and analyze: I spent a big of time on this today. I reviewed two lists of top blogs to identify the most popular Internet reading material:
LIST #1 (from top-blogs.org):
Autoblog: Covering the auto industry with test drives and commentary on articles from other sites.
TheHuffingtonPost: Breaking news and opinion on The Huffington Post
Engadget: Obsessive daily coverage of everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics.
Business Insider: Deep financial, entertainment, green tech and digital industry news.
Serious Eats: Sharing food enthusiasm through online conversation, multiple blogs, and video.
The Boot: All about country music.
Cinematical: Movies, celebrities, and entertainment.
Bleacher Report: Sports journalists and bloggers.
Mashable: Social Media news blog covering cool new websites and social networks.
Etc. The ongoing list addresses more technology, music, pop culture, weather, science, and politics.

LIST #2 (from Time Magazine):
The Everywhereist - quirky journalist who documents travel and highlights funny links from outside sources
The Big Picture - the coolest photos EVER taken by daredevil photographers, mostly re:current events
The Truth About Cars - self-explanatory
OkTrends - uses math to make dating fascinating (creative analysis and infographics)
Videogum - covers TV, movies, and viral Web videos
This Is My Next - covers upcoming hot gadgets, e.g., "This is my next CAMERA"
Etc. Very similar to the previous list.

What? You mean people are searching the web for my top-quality fiction, original songs, and sub-par poetry, let alone my fascinating personal and business life? Apparently not. This prompted me to determine the top Google searches, which today include:
1. vindictus
2. maplestory
3. tca
4. deion sanders
5. viggo mortensen
6. spiderman 3
7. elisha cuthbert
8. the girl next door
9. enfield
10. amazon

If I want to write a highly acclaimed blog, I apparently need a degree in journalism. And a lot of time on my hands. ........or a really original idea.

Count points: Nope.
