About the Name

Well, here I am procrastinating again.

Out of all my millions of followers out there (fine, but I can dream, can't I?), some people might wonder about the name of this blog: Senza Limiti. It's Italian for "Without Limits." I'm not Italian, nor do I speak Italian. But I thought the name would be cooler in another language.

Without Limits...yes, it's rather lofty. But I kind of like it. Isn't that the whole idea of the Internet? I'm not very technologically-savvy, but I can create and edit my own blog. What else could I do? Pretty much anything that I could imagine. When my parents were my age, they had to pick up a telephone or paper and pen if they wanted to speak to a friend in the same town. I can call, text, email, Facebook, Twitter...and I can keep in touch with friends in different countries, instantly. How's that for no limits?

It's also an ideal that I can aspire to. If every one of us were to look at each day, and think to ourselves, "I have no limits today," what could we accomplish? I think that most people are limited simply by their own perceptions. Sure, economic and other situational factors matter, but they don't always have to matter. There's an attitude that I learned at summer camp that tells me I can go into any situation and be successful in some way. I can try things, without limits. I can climb a mountain without being an athlete, I can be the star of a drama show, or I can try, and maybe fail, to conquer an obstacle course. When you have an attitude of "Senza Limiti," the end result isn't the important part. The most important part, cliche as it may be, is the experience of doing something, and fully participating. There are too many people that look at challenges and don't even attempt to overcome them. It might be that they actually won't ever overcome them; some people just aren't born to be lead singers or star athletes. But if they tried anyway? They would have fewer limitations, and could succeed elsewhere in the future.

Another Way to Procrastinate

I'm sitting here at 11:34 at night, and I should be studying. Isn't that how most blogs start? It's just another way to procrastinate. It's almost summer anyway. I'm taking my vacation a little early.
I highly doubt that anyone will have much interest in what I have to say. This is one blog amongst thousands, or maybe more, blogs on the internet. I'm choosing to remain anonymous, just another one of those voices. My life isn't particularly fascinating, nor do I have anything groundbreaking to present. But I've decided to embark on this blogging adventure anyway!

It's also starting to thunder and lightning. I'm going to shut down this computer before I lose power.
