O.k., a month or so of thinking about it, I mean really thinking. Probably too much thinking as usual, and I setup my very first blog. I think (there I go again) that it took about 2 hours, and I haven't said a thing yet. I suppose the hold up was my vacillating (God, does this thing have a spell checker?) between keeping this relatively anonymous and giving out the url to people I know. I have decided to keep it private, just between you and I. It occurred to me that while it would be great to blog having a baby, or taking a world cruise or remodeling a house for your friends, family and others, blogging my search for relevance, my shadow, missing pieces of soul, etc. might be misunderstood by those closest to me. I suppose also that vacillating, "being in the middle" being the peacemaker and "seeing both sides of the issue" is a recurring theme in my life. Do I flatter myself into thinking this is a sign of great wisdom like some high courts judge (yes, usually I do) or is it a sign of a troubled minded? Or maybe it’s something else all together. Anyway, another reason I want to stay anonymous is that I don’t trust myself not to use this as a forum, and to be completely honest. I don’t want anyone who knows me to ever have to wonder whether I wrote something for me, or if it was slanted for his or her consumption. Besides, I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately and commented on a few, and I think/hope that maybe there’s a few people out there that might share their opinions or feeling once and a while.
For now, this blog will be my place to discuss the path I’ve been on for several years now. A place to perhaps document and share some of the bits of information that I have found to be interesting and possibly enlightening. A way to let some of the stuff that bounces around in my head all day out.
BTW, In case you haven’t notice, I love commas way more than periods so please bear with me and hold harmless my high school English teachers. They tried their best.
