This is the blog of Shi. I have been blogging for many years, but I have not been active for a while. My blogs have all been offline for a couple of years now. I am going back online via this blog to document my thoughts, ideas and experiences. This time, I will just be "Shi." No muss, no fuss. I am currently experiencing a major crossroads in my life and feel that now is the time to get things straight in my head by writing them all down. I do hope you will enjoy following my blog. I am a bit crazy and a bit wise. I've been around. Hope to be around for a while longer.
