In the beginning was a word

I am not sure what my true intent is or will be. I have always wanted to start a blog that i would actually maintain. i've tried to keep up on myspace, but i never really do. so here i am in another attempt to start something i am sure i have no real desire to do.

believe it or not, i am actually a very private person. damn near hermit status, but in short existence here on this earth, i realize that life cannot be contained in one tiny little spot. as much as i may be uncomfortable with it, just by existing, there will always be people who want to know more about you. You can either share yourself with them and give them facts to talk about, or they will make them up as they see fit. knowing people like i do, i am assured that even with the details and bits of info i share here, they will still make it up as they see fit. never-the-less, i will attempt to share as much of me with you as i can without making those who have to share the air around me uncomfortable.

as much as i can not be embarrassed, i do not wish to embarrass anyone else. that's not to say i don't get uncomfortable, because i do. i just pick and chose what things i feel like being uncomfortable about. so in the time i spend sharing my thoughts and feelings and poetic offerings, you may learn somethings about me that you didn't know, or some things you wish you'd never known. in either case, if you should chose to read my ramblings, you will learn something about me. good or bad, you will learn something. one of the first things you will learn is that i disdain grammar. i hate having to capitalize words just because of where they land in a sentence. if i capitalize a word, it will be for DRAMATIC EFFECT, and not just because it starts a new sentence.

so if you've made it this far, i invite you to continue on this journey. i do not promise that it will be interesting, exciting or chalked full of great adventure. I do however promise that it will be me 100% and completely without apology. if you should read something that you do not agree with, feel free to have an opinion, and feel free to know that i probably don't care. all thought i welcome your opinion(mainly the nice ones like the encouraging ones) but that doesn't mean i have to like it. i am a very opinionated person myself, so yours will probably clash with mine. if it does, i will simply ignore you and move on with my life. if for some strange reason we share the same opinions and thoughts and views on life, then i shall have to remember to pray for you.

welcome to my mind, its a strange place to be, but at least you can leave when you want to.
