Hello Blogger World

So, after finding reasons and excuses for several years now to be 'to cool' for blogging, I have decided to succumb.  I wouldn't necessarily say that I was ever "anti-blogging" or anything, but I guess between managing a Facebook account, twitter account, a few different e-mail addresses, and yes way back in the day even a Myspace account...I have concluded it is high-time, and that this might even be somewhat productive.  I have several friends who blog, mostly all of whom are married and use it as a digital scrapbook for their families and personal interests.  Blogging in this manner is just fine, I in no way intend to degrade or deride any who blog in this format as I can see it's useful purpose.  However I desire to use this particular blog for more personal reasons more like a journal or log for my many chaotic ruminations.

I imagine this blog to include everything from thoughts and questions on topics such as; morality, politics, religion, music, entertainment, media, doctrine, education, philosophy, meaning, purpose, emotions, dreams, truth or untruth, and cognitions, to pretty much anything that I really spend any reasonable time pondering.

It feels as though I frequently find myself having a horde of things on my mind.  I also find myself wanting for intelligent analytical friends who possess the time and/or energy to sincerely discuss such thoughts.  I hope that this blog will provide me with the opportunity to get these thoughts out of myself and into text which should allow for personal reflection and potential insights that anyone might offer.  Please bare in mind that many of the rants I shall write are ENTIRELY my personal opinions and will not always be accompanied with proof.  As such, I do not desire your criticisms or censures.  If you have a conflicting opinion or thought, and desire to provide me with such feedback please do so with caution and tact, genuinely attempting to help me see something I may be misunderstanding or that I am not seeing.  If you decide to write said feedback please provide it with cited references; i.e. scriptures, pertinent articles (from professional credible sources), or other resources that are relevant to the topic.  I enjoy all of my friends' and peers' opinions and thoughts but please do not turn my posts into debates of subjective opinions.

Well, now that I have that out of the way, I hope we mutually understand one other and that you, my friends, can respect my wishes for this blog.  Now I must admit that I did once in the past attempt to create a blog that was kept very private and where I would write similar things, but in time I forgot about it and was really just bereft of motivation.  I have hopes that this will not be the case this time and that I will make a valiant effort to write in this blog often and keep it appropriate for all who might be kind enough to follow it.  Those of you who know me know I have a tendency to be somewhat immature, perverted, indignant, aggressive, belligerent, offensive, narcissistic etc.  I have been known to offend people in the past and I will give an honest effort to restrain myself from doing so in this blog.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas of topics that they think might be interesting to discuss I am all ears and would put some effort in researching it if I concurred the topic was indeed appropriate.

Thank you for your time and interest.  It means a lot to me.
