My Thoughts Unwound.

Is this thing on?

So this would be the beginning of my blog as I have given thought about for the past few months.

I don't really know where to begin.

Where should I begin?

I mean, I can only think in fragments or at least think in short witty statements I can say about myself. . .

. . .well, to begin with, I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog because it's neat to keep a journal type medium to store my thoughts whenever I do steady things like drive, miscellaneous things at work, or anything that's basically second nature to me.

I've kept a hand written journal before, and that usually involved the big G (God) topic, but that only lasted for so long. Perhaps, it was because hand written things hurt my hand for an extensive period. And I guess that's another good reason for this blog deal.

It did worry me that this would be public and accessible to anyone interested in reading my thoughts here. I worried for those whom are close to me--yet know little about the other side of my thoughts--to know that other side of my thoughts. I also worried for strangers who would think I'm a lame-o for thinking the way I do and in effect, puncture my ego.

But, honestly, life is too short and precious to worry about what other people think.

I believe that I have interesting thoughts.
I have faith that I am a person that would stimulate people's mind.
And I would love it darn well for you (yes you! person who is interested in me enough to continue reading my ramble) to give me feedback if I'm right or wrong.

So, even though I have gotten this thing on a roll thus far. I don't know where to really being with this.

Starting this blog is the same feeling a student gets on the first day of school. Expectations of the education is to be worse than the last--or at least less easy. But then it turns out to be just general stuff that would almost seem unnecessary and only tedious for the prof to expect you take this seriously because that's their way of screwing you over later in the school year if you did not follow this first day stuff.
And then you're left with a feeling of, "that's it?".
Usually, this feeling lasts for the first 3 classes and then those anticipated feelings prior to the "that's it?" feeling are met.

Maybe that's how this blog will turn out. General stuff in the beginning. And then the real core stuff with come soon enough.

Did I grab your attention yet?
Bare with me please. I assure you, I'm worth the wait.
