Today is a good day, for it is the day Ive decided to buckle down and begin writing. I have toyed with this idea for a long time but suffer chronic procrastination, apathy, and an inability to stay interested in one topic for more than 10 seconds at a time.
Through my blog, I hope to channel the significant quantity of often passionate, yet mostly disjointed, unfocused communication (babbling) that I generate constantly into something productive, something representative of who I am, something fun, and something that might challenge the reader’s own opinions on matters of society, philosophy, politics, etc that will inevitably pass through my agenda and onto these pages.
I welcome challenges and controversy, I welcome mockery and satire, I welcome contributions and corrections, and I welcome your thoughts into my own discussions and debates for the purpose of mutual enlightenment, as well as a few laughs if we should both be so lucky.
On the subject of laughs, I believe that one of my primary goals in life is to remind people not to take themselves or the world around them too seriously. If you read what I write here, over time, you will undoubtedly find a common, recurring theme of satire and notice my tendency to try to use humor to defuse potentially angry responses from readers who have been offended by my challenges to the tiny, monochromatic worlds in which they live.
Im not totally sure what will come of this space, but I welcome you to check back to find out, though I would appreciate a complete lack of expectations. That is all.
