Searching for Godot

New Title!

Took a long time to come up with, but I think this one better suits what I initially set out to achieve with this blog; namely, to facilitate dialogue on an array of topics that hopefully provoke deep thought about ourselves and the world around us (with humor and BS intertwined here and there of course).

"Searching for Godot" is an allusion to the play by Samuel Becket, Waiting for Godot. I couldn't use the actual title of the play itself as a URL because it was taken (-__-), but "searching" is more active than "waiting", and thus perhaps a better verb anyway. For a brief minute, I settled on the name "Searching for Zenn-La", with Zenn-La referring to the utopian home planet of Norrin Radd aka the Silver Surfer in the popular comic. But I decided to refrain from putting the official geek stamp on what may likely be a semi-geeky blog. (I thought it was kinda cool though..)

Aside from putting my ideas out there to the public, one of the primary purposes (if not THE primary purpose) of this blog is for me to learn more about myself and my beliefs... A little selfish I admit. Nonetheless, I invite others (YOU) to embark on this journey as well. In our society, we are often not permitted time for self-discovery. Instead, productivity and action are virtues that reign supreme. But sometimes, we need a time out.

I believe at some point we all are on some kind of search. I know I am. For what? I have no idea, and I probably won't know until I find it. If you have never searched, then perhaps you haven't learned enough yet to want to. That is not to say that you should learn more; you may likely be very happy, and I am probably jealous of you. But for those who have searched and have found, I can only imagine the peace they have attained.
