And so I can't say I'm a master historian. Yet I'd say I'm something more than an amateur. I could probably fit the mold of an expert, I haven't invested my life in history, but I've studied it in a concentrated sort these last four years (ie. I'm a history major), and I have a massive interest in the subject that keeps me up to date.  Moreover I like to play around with historical ideas and such and...
So why not be a historian?
Well, maybe I will someday.  I've got enough of a life out there to change my direction three or four times.  But for now I am possessing of an active spirit far too restless for the ivory tower or even the back-roads of academia which travel around the world but only in certain circles.  My current focus now is becoming a journalist, a profession which I believe will have an activeness to suit me.  Moreover, also I have not the taste for the rigidness of academic rules and I think journalism will free me for that.  But perhaps times will change me.  Who knows?
But for now, I think I will indulge the historical side of me by writing greatly of that subject no other place than right here!
It should be fun, and I think you'll like it.
Stay tuned!
