Let me say first and foremost, that this blog is not intended to be read by anyone other than me. I guess it is really just a journal that for some reason I wanted to post on the internet. Maybe that says something about me, that I want private thoughts posted where they could be read publicly. I guess I don't want to read too much into that, I just wanted a place where I could write down my thoughts. I've always felt that I could get a better glimpse at what I think by writing it down. I don't know why that works for me, but something about taking the time to put into words what I was thinking helped me to really understand my own opinons. Some people seem to be able to know what they think and where they stand so quickly. I for one, need some time to think about it, and writing it down helps me to formulate my own mind.
My goal of doing this is simply to write down what I am thinking at the time. I think of it more as therapeutic rather than for someone else's enjoyment. I can't think about what people might think when they read it otherwise I won't be able to write exactly what I want, which to me will defeat the purpose of the blog.
I should also state upfront, that I don't pretend to think I know how to write, or that I even understand proper grammer and punctuation. I really don't think I know where a comma is even supposed to go. I kind of just place them in randomly where I think a pause should be. Is that even the reason for commas? I'm really not sure. Beyond that I really don't know what semi colons or colons for that matter even have to do with the writing process. Chances are you won't find them in any post of mine.
I should also warn the reader, that I may even try an occasional joke or my weak attempt and something I find witty. Just realize that this blog is a testing ground, a place for me to practice and develop my thoughts. I am not going to try and be polished, I just want to be real. I guess that is the whole point of this, I want to be real. I want to be unedited in my thoughts and completely honest in my opinions. With that being said, welcome to my blog.
