Trying Tyro !

My second stab at a post on this particular blog. There have already been several edits to this 2nd post, though.
One of the reason I wanted to delay my starting this blog, was I wanted to ensure I had a clear vision for what I wanted readers to get out of it. Now that I have defined my message (more so in my brain, it will become apparent after following and as I share more stories) Infact, at this point, I am actually a lil back logged on ideas. I have lots of material ready for the chopping block and there are a variety of themes I hope to incorporate. There’s no real telling what it is going to evolve into, and I find that’s one of the most exciting things about undertaking this blogging project.( All this talk about defining a voice got me thinking about the movie Happy feet where they all have their heartsongs, there is lively story with a good message ).

OK, Tyro is a bit of a Funny word.But I find new words Fun.
Tyro is a word I embraced originally when I was learning how to play tennis. Mellifluous alliterations are another simple thing I enjoy. I mean you have to agree 'Diligent beginner' really doesn't sounds as intriguing as ' Trying Tyro'. I enjoy learning the etymology I always take interest in finding out where things came from.

Pronunciation: \ˈtī-(ˌ)rō\ Function:noun Usage: often attributive
Etymology:
Medieval Latin, from Latin tiro young soldier, tyro Date:1587
: a beginner in learning : novice

It's interesting to see the path things follow but ultimately the name of a word, like any other attempts to pin-down the initiation of things, boils down to the age old question of the Chicken or the Egg?. Or as my friends in Christian moral issues ( or whatever that it was called) class we had to take my Freshmen year of HS, "If you can only catch an STD from someone else, how did the first person ever infected, contract it?"
Who can ever know the whenhow or wherefor of things, really?

A fun book if you enjoy etymology or even if you need/want a good chuckle,

Alphabet Juice: The Energies, Gists, and Spirits of Letters, Words, and Combinations Thereof; Their Roots, Bones, Innards, Piths, Pips, and Secret Parts, ... With Examples of Their Usage Foul and Savory.

warming up!

Ahh! A fresh start- nothing I like more.

I keep stalling!! Where should I go with this and how is the BEST way get it going? How do I want to set this up?
I tell myself, "I have to pick the proper way to start this out or else it will mess up the whole tone of the blog!?" My mind so quickly fills up with a million scattered thoughts, on everything except for conducive topics.
hehh Bad habits!
One bad habit that I have, that I doubt is unique to me, alot of issues in my life revolve around the fact that I have become addicted to stress its self and the whole process I (and my entire body) go though when I (consciously nor not) allow myslef to get all worked up! I'd like to try and break this cycle.
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" Emerson says. Hobgoblins are the best way to collectively name those pesky detaining questions bouncing around in my brain, right now.

I absolutely adore Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the Transendalists. I have one big book that is a compliation of Emersons greatest writtings, It is all highlighted and there are a million differnt colored tabs sticking out of the pages. I like to read it when I am feeling lost, I treat it like its my bible.

But this stalling thing Is something I have been doing since, well, before I was even born! That's right! I was born 'late', couldn't decide whether coming out into this world was the right thing to do had to make sure I was good and ready, took me a lil extra time to prepair myself to be cut off from the umbilical cord, and enter the real world. ('Yoga Anatomy' check it out talks, about being in the womb, something I never learned in my god awful anatomy class, I have only read what the 'look inside' feature <> on Amazon allows you too but from what I can say, It written in a very powerful tone:)
Haha, In fact that analogy continues, leaving college for the real world... This cycle of letting go of comforts perpetuates.

I am done holding my breath, time to exhale and go forth :D
