Introduction: Clinton A. Jackson IV..aspiring jetsetter and a daydreamer

My name is Clinton, most of my friends, loved ones, family, and close associates know me as CJ. I've done blogs before, kept journals and what not. I figure this would be another great way for me to record what I thought. One thing I always found interesting about journals, blogs, and any kind of personal recorded information is how we see the growth in our own lives.

I figured this would be a good chance for me to do the same, being the "young professional" type, as well as being able to share this with others. So what are my others reasons for this blog. Why the title, the name?

Well when it comes down to it I see myself doing two major things...traveling and well dreaming which we all do. But both of those activities/thoughts in some cases are intensely intertwined. I see traveling as not only my escape, but as my avenue for new business, new culturally stimulating experiences, and a way to learn more about myself. I also love to see how the rest of the world is living. So far I have been to cayman islands and Jamaica twice (my grandparents and mom's side of the family is from there and I need to research more on their history as I plan to go back. I've also been to Germany (my birthplace), and Nassau, Bahamas which is right now my favorite vacation spot.

Traveling is a passion, a learning experience, and I see it as a wonderful chance to connect with friends, family, and whoever I choose to roll out with.

Daydreaming wise? Well. Some of us call them visions, others dreams or goals. But I have an intense passion to, well help people. Those that I'm around, family friends, even those who I see need help, or maybe just to bless them. To have the capacity to give on a whim is one of the greatest gifts that I believe we can all have. When it comes down to it, when I'm well off and paid or whatever, what does it all mean if I cannot have my mom live comfortably. What does it mean if I cannot bless a family member, friend, or fellow church member on a random basis or if they're in a tough spot?

Of course truly when it comes down to it, one must secure themselves and stabilize their situation, to which I can attest that this is definitely a work in progress. Hopefully, if you're interested you can follow it as I achieve (which I know will with God's guidance) my goals one by one.

These are my dreams. There's definitely others, as well as some fears and nightmares, some flaws, and some hangups. Some triumphs, some trip ups. Crowning moments, and very embarrassing ones. But hey that's life. Live, learn and grow.

Welcome to the the chronicles of the daytripper. If you have any questions as well for me, or things you like me to comment on, feel free to ask me. I may not be an expert on some things but I'll offer my view.
