A stab in the dark

I suppose most people start blogs in similar fashions:
.A brief reflection on their motivation for starting a public display of their writing
..An attempt at saving an impression of humility by discussing their great reluctance in embarking upon this new endeavor
...A forecast of future writings and thoughts to come
....And most likely some sort of writing that will give the prospective new readers a glimpse into the style and mind of the hopeful Hemingway

So I try to examine my own motivations and thoughts for enlisting in the ranks of the vast blogging infantry. While I'm not typically praised for being an eloquent or sophisticated writer, I'm known to be quite opinionated. Maybe that is enough to make one write here. Maybe not.

I wish I could promise intelligent entries on provoking subjects. I wish I could promise many entries or even any subsequent entries, but I'm not even sure what to expect of this.

This could be the first of an onslaught of passionate rantings about controversial topics. Or it could be simple a journal that should have been continued on paper in my bedroom but is now being converted into the technical age of Facebook friendships and Craigslist connections.
