Well this is my first venture into blogging, at least on a personal level. For the past decade everything seems to have somehow managed to revolve around work. I have made numerous posts for my company's blog, written technical articles, press releases and product literature aplenty. Not to mention the countless unpaid hours of hard work, traveling and all the other work related items that turn normal humans into stress cases. The great news is that I truly love my job, more than I should perhaps. I am confident that my wonderful wife would have strong opinions on this topic so I can save that content for a later date. They say that if you can find a way to do what you love for a living you will never "work" a day in your life. I'm not so sure about that one at the moment but it could be due to a crashing stock market, slumping automotive industry and general grumpiness of the entire planet's mood.
So to get to the point of this initial post... I was reading some quotes and I came across one that really struck a nerve with me;
"The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot." (Michael Althsuler)
As we have all heard "time waits for no man". Not for you, I, nor any other person on earth. Now that I have two incredible children (we'll get to those little monkeys in later posts), father time has accelerated so quickly that I now feel the full weight of life's priorities pressing down on me. With more strength and frequency than I care to shoulder. I don't know about your priorities but I think that mine need to be slapped around a little and re-organized. That is the inspiration for this page, be a better pilot and re-dedicate time for God, my family and myself correctly.
I look forward to sharing the important things in my life and using this place to capture and reflect on the amazing things that are all around me each and every day.
As Nin said, "We write to taste life twice, once in the moment and in retrospection". I can't wait to begin writing.

Tyler Tanaka
