The highly unanticipated and immensely anticlimactic day has arrived: I have entered the blogging scene! About 3 years late and with the assistance of an “any idiot can post a blog” service provided by Blogger.com, I, a web developer and someone who has been saying for those 3 years that blogs will be the next big thing on the web, finally get my own freakin’ blog.

Regardless of whether I describe my feelings on this matter as embarrassment or irritation, I’m glad to be here and blame my own stupid idealism as the culprit. You see, some personalities thrive on the possibilities of what could be, and get immense enjoyment out of the meditation of the possibilities even more so than arriving at the final product. These “dreamers” are in harsh contrast to the “productivity experts” who pride themselves in getting things done but truly have next to no imagination. Thankfully, most of us share a percentage of each extreme, albeit with a tendency toward one way or the other. Both extremes have the commendable strengths–although productivity is glamorized in the society we live in–and neither side deserves harsh criticism, rather, just a gentle push toward the center of the polarity to realize the best of both characteristics in a balance of the mindsets.

That being said, I will pride myself in my idealistic plans for a blog engine that I will develop myself and will be a lot cooler than Blogger.com. In the meantime, here I am.

On to the significance of the name, “Nazin”. The “Land of Nazin” was an imaginary land that some of us geeks dreamed up back in highschool when we got bored of programming. We used this “land” as a creative and comedic outlet to post an ongoing story to a forum, where each post would be a continuation of the story of this land. Mythological or medieval in nature, the atmosphere of the stories was always epic in style, and always related to modern events occurring in our lives, or sometimes was just completely meaningless creative fiction. As I hinted at earlier, it was usually light-hearted in its seriousness, if that makes any sense, which usually made it very entertaining to read. Ever since its birth in Junior year, I’ve wanted to start a website or blog named after the “Land of Nazin”. This weblog, driven by Blogger.com, probably will not have any stories written in true Nazin-style. But once I get my own weblog running, that separates all the blogs by categories, I will certainly have a blog category dedicated to the writings of Nazin.

On that note, I happily end my first blog. I look forward to many more.
