A new year has come stumbling over the horizon... and with the new year, I have resolved to turn over a new leaf in my relationship with you, the reader of blogs. Really, I've redefined my relationship with myself, as a writer of blogs. I want to write more honestly. I want to bare more of myself in a more unapolagetic way. I want to remove any filters that exist between my mind and my fingers. Due to an overdeveloped sense of self-importance, I have come to believe that my ideas are powerful, and that my worldview is enlightened and worth spreading around.
Last year, over a four-month period, I experimented with a progressive blog. It was a liberating and educational exercise, and this new blog is the next evolution in my development as a writer. I was too limited in my "liberal" blog, and the political commentary that I was trying to create. This blog is not political, except for when it is. I'm not going to limit what or who I write about anymore. If I want to write about what a colossal hypocritcal asshole a guy like Rick Santorum is, then I'll do it. If I feel like writing about the reasons why I think Wife Swap is hands-down the best thing on television, then I'll write about that. Sports, entertainment, literature, current events, social trends, it's all happening, people.
Do I expect you to care? Hell yeah, I do. The way I look at the world is awesome. I'm ridiculously smart, and I am knowledgable about a weird variety of things. I retain strange information, and I want to share this odd catalogue of information with you, dear reader.
This introduction is for you, and for me. I'm attempting to simultaneously clarify and broaden my vision for what this blog can be. I want to develop a relationship with you, the online community. I have a deep, profound respect for you. I appreciate the honesty that exists on the Internet, in various forums. I want feedback. I welcome comments from all people. I will make outrageous statements, but never for any purpose other than honesty. This blog exists as a representation and an extension of my mind. I hope you enjoy it. I hope that you find it to be entertaining... but above all, I hope it challenges you and makes you think.
