Greetings and Salutations!

So, Why did I decide to write a blog?

Honestly, I am not really sure. I think some of it is probably boredom. Maybe there is also a desire to record my thoughts about various subjects. At any rate, here we are. My intention is to cover a variety of topics in a way that is both interesting and intelligent. Sometimes, there might be something that I just find funny. Topics might include Religion and Spirituality, Pharmacy, Scouting and the Outdoors, and anything else I can think of to talk about.

So, Why "American Smart?"

So often when we talk about someone being "smart" we mean one specific thing. Usually it is "Book Smart." When we say someone is "smart" we usually mean that they know a lot of information. I think "Smart" is really about thinking a certain way. Sometimes that means being good at remembering information. It could also be good a analyzing a situation, being perceptive to others situations, or looking at something a new way. Smart is about taking in the information coming into your brain, breaking it apart, and applying it effectively. Smart can look so many different ways because people all take in different information and break it into different pieces. My brain is good a scientific data. Someone else's brain might be good at music, or the artistic application of the English language, or other people's unspoken expressions, or mechanical doohickeys. So, lets look at life in a way so that we can apply our "smart" to each and every action and learn from others who's "smart" might be different from ours.
