First Contact

For a long while now, I have wanted to get my thoughts on paper but did not know where to start. I have decided to skip the torturous organizing that prefaces many written works and just “shoot from the hip”.

I suppose that the outcome of this technique can go one of two ways – brilliance or disaster. But then again those are largely the only outcomes of anything new. And quite often, what was once revered as brilliant devolves over time into disaster – the hair band era is a good example. The opposite is also true – a heliocentric universe seems pretty damn clever these days.

Since I have decided to get into the whole blog craze – another new idea that has seen brilliance in its infancy, perhaps my entry into the arena will cause disaster – I figure that I should let you in on some of my deepest, darkest secrets in order that we get better acquainted.

I am insignificant in almost every sense of the word. I live an unimportant life in an unimportant town and engage in unimportant activities. I am single. Well, solitary is a better term. I do as little as humanly possible in order to survive and I just get by. I am uninspired by almost everything that I encounter in life with a few exceptions.

In a way, this blog is an effort to make me significant, perhaps not in a macro-sociological level, but at least personally I will at some point in the day be able to take some small satisfaction in knowing that I let it all hang out for everyone to see.

So, if you are reading this right now I am sure that you are asking your self, “why the hell am I reading this and why would I read anything that this guy writes again?”
Well, my intention with this whole thing is to some degree restore stoicism, sophistry, philosophy and rational thought in general as much as someone with my limited social influence can.

If you happen to revisit this blip in cyberspace again in the future here are some of the topics I hope to discuss:
· Government/Politics – domestic and global.
· Music, Film, Television
· Culture
· Society
· Drugs
· Love/Sex
· The Random
Be forewarned, not all of the writings will be this articulate or devoid of curse words. Also, at certain times I may also be using certain mind altering substances prior to my postings. So, if you are willing get onboard and enjoy the scenery as you join me on this trip through my mind.
