After discovering this idea of "blogging" nine years ago, I question why it is that I'm starting one again... I think I'm drawn to this idea of "published thoughts," when really very few people will see this. Nonetheless, this is one of those "spur of the moment, i have nothing better to do" things.
I sit in the corner of a theater, like I have been doing for sometime, seriously contemplating, for once in my life, what I want to do for the next few months with the opportunities presented in front of me.
Looking back, I don't really know why I began blogging. At one point, and perhaps quite recently, I realized that I had been blogging for quite a long time. I haven't, however, "published" anything for a while. Perhaps this will be a good mental exercise.
I have yet to figure out what I want to shape this blog to be. It may just be the daily ramblings of my life. It may also be a platform for opinions and ideas that I usually don't share... Like politics, the news, drama that has been circling around me. I don't share much, even to the people I love, and yet I find it perfectly reasonable to say exactly how I feel and what I feel to perfectly good strangers that may stumble upon this blog.
It's a mystery that comes with modern technology. I mean, even as I type, this website is "autosave-ing" everything that I type. It realizes that technology cannot be trusted, and thus makes it appear as though it cares about what you write, and wants to save it for you so you don't ever lose it.
I just hope that my blogging here does not stop me from my other writing that I have been doing.
So perhaps I should clearly define now as to what I want to use this for.
I think this will be a canvas for my opinions -- opinions that I may not write in my journal, but want to share with someone (that would mean you, anonymous reader), and perhaps I can present it with a bit of umph, gusto, and humor.
Yes, that sounds like an excellent idea.
So for now, I leave you with this opening post of random thoughts about nothing, and leave you with an adieu.
Please come back, and hopefully the next time, I'll have something more interesting to say.
Peace
