The Happy Turtle

Surely it is the question--not the statement--which defines me.

C. Hostetler: I am not, as my blog name describes, a turtle. Nor am I always as cheerful as that nomer may suggest. I do like turtles; I have, at times, considered what life would be like as a turtle, and I have ultimately concluded that, if I were indeed a turtle, and with the capability of thought and emotion, I would be a happy one. That statement, as well as this one I suppose, is completely irrelevant. I write sometimes to write, but most times for the feeling of it--or a grade. I observe, and then splendor in my own wit at having observed and shared with the world. In that way my writing, too, has become irrelevant. My goal, perhaps, then would be to counter this tendency, whether through college or blogging or my own tangled thought process. That is, if I have time.
