MckLinky! (I can’t come up with a catchy title so this will have to do for now)

I’ve decided to participate in the first blog hop using mcklinky. Not sure if I’ll keep this up because I’m not much of a meme fan.  I wonder if I’m the only non-parent involved in this? Anywhooo, I’m suppose to introduce my blog. So welcome!

My blog is entitled Intelligence Is A Curse, because like everything in life intelligence is a double edged sword: it is both a blessing and a curse. I know to some the title sounds somewhat conceited, but I in no way flaunt my intelligence. There is no reason for me to hold my head up high and look down on people when I could just as easily been born below average. I have never thought highly of myself for this very reason. I talk more about this here.

I could go on and bore you with all the events in my life that have made my intelligence a “curse” but I’ll save that for future blog posts…maybe.

Anyway, enough about that. I’m a 20-something year old college student who is a self taught pianist and has a passion for music. I also enjoy a lot more hobbies than the daily recommended allowance.   I’ve lived most of my life as an expatriate until recently when I came back to the US to attend college. I hate nuts.  My favorite brand of toothpaste is crest.  I am addicted to mango juice.

If you want to get to the main section of my blog just click on “My Blog” in the navigation bar.  Or you can go to my home page to check out some of my featured content.

Thank you and have a great day.

  • I adore this whole blog hopping meme! It's so nice to meet you and all the wonderful participants. What a journey of encouragement!

    I totally agree with you on intelligence being a double-edged sword. I don't worry about that much now, though. After kids 3 and 4 (twins), I'm on autopilot, stuck in Sesame Street mode. ;o)

    I'm following you, now.

    I'd like to invite everyone here to Blog it Forward. Share your inspirational journeys and award those who inspire you with the 'Inspirational Blog Award.'

    All the blogs I have hopped to so far have touched my heart in so many, many ways. I would like to spread the encouragement to the rest of the blogging realm.

  • I'm sorry you have been cursed by your intelligence, I guess it is better than being cursed by other things. My dd is salivating to go to college, so it is nice meeting a college student through the blog hop. She plans on majoring in classical voice and physics - trying to narrow down colleges with good programs in both has not been easy. What are you majoring in?

  • Stopping by from the Blog Hop nice to meet you! Checking out all the different blogs. Have a Happy Fourth! Ok I'm glad I found you -- I am a homeschool mom with a son that would love to be able to play the piano -- I have no idea where to start. There is no one in our area that teaches. Any advise?

  • A lot of teachers will travel to your house in order to teach. So I'd say start there. The #1 piece of advice I'd give you is to not force any more than necessary to get your children to practice. My parents never forced me to practice so I've always loved music and always looked forward to my next lesson. Also, I think the younger the teacher the better. It really helps with the connection to the teacher..
  • Howdy! It's nice to meet you via the Blog Hop today. I love both mango juice and the fruit itself. Here's wishing you a fantastic weekend!
