Disclaimer!!

So I guess this is my first blog ever. I'm not sure if it's something I will do consistantly or just when I have a flash of ideas that need to get out of my brain. This blog is not a family update blog, although I will probably write things about my family. You may read things in this blog that you don't agree with, spiritual ideas that don't match yours might appear on this blog. Run on sentences are a grammatical weakness that I fancy. If I'm writing late at night, you could sense a bit of a dark mood with a dash of paranoia. Blogging strikes me one of two ways. We as a society are, in my opinion, somewhat self obsessed. I remember when a magazine called "Self" came out in the 90's. I thought that the next logical greatest magazine to hit the grocery store aisle's would be "Me". Or maybe it would be "Me, myself, and I" or possibly "Ego" or "Id". But instead the next best thing became "Myspace". And then of course we have "Facebook". And so you may find that on this blog I poke fun at our culture, or write about things that bug me. But just know this, I am not one that stands from the outside and turns my nose up at our life as Americans, pointing my finger at all that doth offend. But I am the one, while reading "Self" magazine and checking my FB, will have moments where I stand outside life and swim in the Irony of it. And I also may write something about the things that do offend me too. I love poetry, and I write it as well. But I have no idea wether or not my poetry is trite drivel or just really bad. Please excuse this indulgence of mine. You may notice contradictions in my blog. One week I may be full of encouragement and zeal for life, and the next week I may be coy and feeling rather blue. Also, it should be noted that often I am sleep deprived for many a different reason. This blog may show the core of my thoughts. It may show the essence of my person. Like walking past a mirror quickly, you may get glimpses inside of me, and inside of you. And that I believe, no matter how self absorbed people may be, is part of the experience of being human. Happy reading.
