This posting represents my first foray into the blogosphere and let me just say first off that I hate myself for using that term... "blogosphere". I mean it's essentially a culmination of websites used by self-important people to convey their oh so very important thoughts for the world to peruse. What exactly is spherical about it anyway? Actually now that I think about the description I just wrote, it does kinda make sense... but I still don't like it. Blogosphere just feels like a word that was created by the ever mind-raping media to be regurgitated primarily by hipster tools with an unyielding need to punch me continuously in the face with whatever they're currently being told is trendy. In fact that has always been my basic attitude towards the concept of blogging in general. Yet here I am like some Stevie-come-lately ready at last to give the devil his due.
I blame my wife whom I dearly love for having, on more than one occasion, suggested that since I seem to find writing to be a therapeutic use of my free time, I would probably enjoy blogging. It is more likely that she planted the seed in my head in the hopes that it may serve as a way for her to tap into my brain and therefor better understand what makes me "tick". She's pretty damned smart and perceptive and I have to say that it suddenly did seem like a good idea.
I've always used writing as a means to gather my otherwise scattered thoughts and organize them into something coherent to me and anyone else reading. I freely admit that on some level I like the idea of having an audience even if, at this point, said audience is virtually non-existent. But whether or not anyone is actually reading this doesn't matter because their is another, higher level that loves the idea of telling that audience to fuck off because I don't care at all what it thinks about anything I have to say. This is my little corner of the "sphere" and my thoughts simply are what they are. To censor them could only serve to mask truth and that really doesn't serve anyone.
I have no agenda that I'm aware of, nor are there plans for any kind of running theme. My blog is in it's infancy right now (hell, at this point its a shapeless fetus) and my plan is to, from time to time, write whatever may be on my mind, like a journal I suppose. It will likely reflect my mood at the time. On a given day it may contain something I feel very passionate about, perhaps in politics or some other item in the news, or I may be in the mood to be mean or funny or both. One things for sure, if I'm writing at all, its because I feel inspired to and its bound to be better in content then what I'm saying now because I'm only typing this introduction out of a sense of obligation.
Having an online expression of my thoughts is certainly not an original concept and there are no doubt countless like it in intent but as I said this is one is mine. Perhaps in time it will evolve into something of more substance or it could just simply whither away. I certainly hope the later will not be true. But true or not, that's all the inane rambling I have for now. If you're reading this, thank you... it's bound to get better.
