I think a change would do you good...

"I think a change would do you good" is not only a line from a great Sheryl Crow's song but a title of the first post from a new blog and this only could bring you to some conclusions. And if I tell you that I recently turned 30 the conclusion will probably be "a 30 year-old life crisis". So let's tag it like this. The bottom line is that now I'm trying to bring some changes into my life.

So why am I starting the blog? (When somebody "trying to bring a change" by writing about it, it looks pretty like procrastination ;) But in my case it's not. At least not entirely :) The point is that one of my "areas of change" is to improve my English usage.

English is my third language and I live in a non-English speaking environment. Due to internet I have a lot of opportunity to master my passive skills but it's pretty hard to improve language usage without native speakers arround. And the blog gives, amongst others, a great opportunity to stretch a language muscle. So feel free to comment on my style and mistakes (and I'll actually be glad if you do).

My first language is Russian and I'm pretty good with it. I write practical psychology articles for big offline magazine and do some copywriting from time to time. I also used to write personal blog in Russian but with such amount of Russian writing for work it's not so much fun or challenge anymore. English is entire different manner (I'm fascinated with this language, but I'll tell you about it next time). So I decided to dump my old blog and start a new one here.

And looking on my old one I can very precisely tell you what this blog gonna be about. Psychology. Literature. Music. Movies (mostly old or underappreciated). Everyday stuff and my life experiences. Language. Study (I'm interested in a huge amount of different things, and also I'm very interested in psychology and mechanisms of learning process). Art and design. Scientific researches. Occasional funny stuff. Etc.

So it's gonna be a personal non-commercial & non-advertising  blog but I intend to make it interesting for people who doesn't know me in a real life. And I hope to make some new friends and interesting interlocutors here. You can wish me luck on it :)
