Genuinely Giancarlo

First of all JON CAR LOW DEE OH TIE YOU TEE Yes, that's how you say my name. It's Italian. And awesome. But really confusing at first glance. So there it is. Now that we have that out of the way, we can begin. (As a note: this post is intended a lot more for the people that are reading this blog that haven't met me before. I mean yeah you can totally read this even if you see me every day, but it probably won't be all that exciting to you. Your choice, though. Don't let me stop you.) I am a seventeen year-old boy from South Jordan, Utah. I am currently a junior at Bingham High School, and I love it there. This is my first year at Bingham, and it's been great so far. I transferred there because I moved in April, but I only live about 15 minutes away from where I used to live. I used to go to West Jordan High School, and that was great as well.

This blog is the first one. I've never run a blog before, and I actually found out that it's really quite complicated. There are so many options and so many ways you can do things, which makes it hard to get it exactly how you want it. But I took on this change because I wanted to do something. You see, I'm a thinker. I think and I think and I think and ultimately all of those thoughts just stay in my head and they don't go anywhere; they don't have any effects. And I was sick of that. These things that I think are just stuck and I couldn't find a way to get them out. I wanted to share these ideas that I've had, but I never found the right way to do it. So one day, through all of the thinking, I realized something. I realized I could create a blog...
