An Introduction

Welcome.

An introduction is neccessary.
Not to myself, but to this site of mine.
I'm sure you're wondering what I will be writing about, what this site will have on it.

Well...so am I. I'm not entirely sure how to explain what this blog is, but I feel reasonably sure of what it isn't.


This will not be a blog dedicated to celebrities. Nor will it be dedicated to music, film, literature, world events, politics or religion. I am not Perez Hilton. Pink is not the new blog. At least not this one...even if I secretly desire just that. As wonderful as those two blogs are...that's just not me. I cannot claim to be an insider in any subject, but I am not on the outside of many either. I'm no genius. I'm no Einstein. But I'm not some backwoods dullard either. I cannot promise that you will like what I write. I can't promise that I will like what I write. I probably will not change your worldview with my writing, but, in my defense, that was not my goal to begin with.

So what is the goal of this blog?

My only hope is that I can present you with unfettered access to my thoughts and that maybe, more often than not, they will entertain you.

Coleridge said that language is the armory of the human mind and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests. My hope for this blog is that it will be a keepsake of my past and the spearhead of my future. So hop on board, we've crossed a symbolic Rubicon, and the die have been cast. It might be a bumpy ride, but it will damn sure be interesting.


A note on the format:
I will be updating this blog every day, except Friday when a guest writer will post an entry.
