So what is the contingency plan?

I actually created this blog a long time ago, I just never managed to add content. Charged with a fresh dose of ambition, I'm going to give it another shot. Even though the blog is old, to me, the name still fits. Sometimes I think my life is just one giant contingency plan. Nothing ever works out like I think it will or want it too. What I've learned the past year is that that's okay. Life's an adventure. I hope this blog can serve as a chronicle of my journey to embrace this principle.
