O Brave New World

For this inaugural post on my new blog, Truth and Jonsequences, I would just like to welcome everyone to the site; it's exciting to have the opportunity to share a bit of my life with all of you, and I'm pumped that you are along for the ride. It has been a crazy year, settling down in a new city and leaving a nomadic life behind for the life of a teacher in an inner-city school.

Much of my experience here has been a primer in humility and the art of maintaining dreams in the face of anger and limited bathroom breaks. In a few short months, I've led a life of strange fortune, one that routinely juxtaposes the profound and tragic of the human condition with its most trivial and mundane. I trade in knowledge and I'm paid in the currency of a brighter future. Along the way I get to work and sometimes sleep in business casual dress. It is a wonderful, wonderful life.

If my posts leave you with a hint of the passion I've cultivated, then I have done my job. Please don't hesitate to ask questions, to push back, or to ask for photographic evidence of any outrageous claim I make. (NB: a break-dancing video exists). I wouldn't be here if it weren't for all of the support I received along the way, so thank you. It is my distinct pleasure to take this, the first step of many, into an endeavor at once familiar and unknown. Cheers.
