The First..

As many things start and finish in life, things come in waves racing in quickly yet in a subtle fashion from far far away, if you looked you could see them coming.  Without this attention however you would never have known its presence arising upon you.  As a youngster I remember being mesmerized by just the thought of this event in the water, a simple concept.  Like these waves I viewed from a seated position propped atop a piece of foam covered in fiberglass.  I can remember feeling one with myself.  But never did i conceive of everything I could have gained from these experiences, which were short and infrequent when looked at in the grand scheme.  This is what i let myself get sucked in to, and in this i rarely took away all that I could from every experience i have had.  But now i am grateful for experiences such as these, and am ready to learn and share.  And through words which i have always had such a hard time putting together other than in a notebook for only myself to see.  I am happy to welcome you the reader to my first of many blogs.

I have chosen the name "In Absence of Stone" because if it were not for this exact thing, I would be participating in the sport i have fallen completely in love with.  It is not only my interest in this sport i am excited to be sharing with you the reader, it is my greatest interest to bring to the plate the things that run through my everyday mind.  The encounters i have, the things i read, how they inspire me (and hopefully you), I feel that even though i live a reasonably normal everyday life, I am lucky to have the experiences I do and I would like to share them with whomever it may interest.

So for the next, well however long this wave of my life rolls along i am excited to share with you the reader my thoughts, motivations, creations and well possibly random nonsense. 

Thank you for taking the time to read My First, I am in hopes that you will return to see what is next to be shared from me.
