Be (Intro)

Hi!

Welcome to my new blog. For those of you who were with me during The Blog That Jenah Built days, nice to see you again :) I closed TBTJB primarily because I didn't really use it any more, but also as my life had changed so much since I started it (December 2007 yo!), a natural break had presented itself.

I expect this blog will be much of the same - life updates, commentary on the news and politics, misplaced hip hop references, and hopefully less angst.

I borrowed the title of this post from the opening track of Common's 2005 album, Be, and will conclude with a very fitting line from it:

Never looking back, or too far in front of me. The present is a gift, and I just wanna be.
