Start'n somewhere

English was never my best subject, not in the least.  And if you have spent anytime around me in the recent decade and heard me try to articulate well formed statements, debates, and/or comebacks; you've probably gotten a decent laugh out of my amazing use of proper grammar and word choice.  And you've probably heard my excuse... I'm a math major.  So, I digress. (NAILED IT)
   You also probably know some of my root stories and how I was brought up 1/2 the time in a household of two teachers, one being an English teach and the other a linguist of the Romance language Spanish. Both subjects of which I can't say I particularly excelled at, not for the lack of effort on the rents end of it (Spanish Wednesdays) ;) When friends and acquaintances I would tell this to their usual and logical next question would always be, "so, do you want to be a teacher yourself?"  To that I would say, "HELL NO."  Not that I never thought highly of my rents or my past teahers noble pursuit of educating the next generation.  I just never pictured myself in that setting OR dealing with parent teacher conferences and administration fiascos. 
  Though as cliche as it is, and I like it when cliches are true, fate works in mysterious ways.  As I am about to attempt to master and take part in all three of my previously renounced subjects and career path.  Keep up a blog (English), teach math to secondary students, and live/work in a Portuguese speaking country.  Fate, you crafty SOB.
   So if you are reading this and have some sort of affiliation to me, or not, I hope that you and I will be able to enjoy my attempt at writing throughout the next chapter of my life.  I extend my sincerest apologizes now for any grammar mistakes or improper word usage you might find along the way, just laugh at it. My goals are to stay as up to date with this project and all of you as humanly possible, god (wifi access) willing.  I'm not very sure what to expect for very much of what lies ahead, only a few ideas and expectations with a whole lot of trail magic in between. 
Take it easy & stay posted.
