Here goes nothin

Alright, here I go, buckling under peer pressure. I am finally starting a blog. Those of you who have been applying the peer pressure know who you are and are now entirely to blame for anything and everything I decide to ramble about online. I've yet to decide if I'm going to make this blog private or not (partially because I don't know how to work this thing yet and am not exactly sure how I would accomplish such a thing) but as of now it's not. Since that is the case here are a few words of explanation as to the purpose of this business. A little getting to know you time, if you will.

Mostly the reason for this blog is that I'm hoping it will help me to write more consistently because I haven't been in the most creative place lately and it's more of a giant concrete perimeter wall bordered by barbed wire and patrolled by viscous attack dogs than a block that is currently hedging up my way. So I will write in hopes of tearing down some of that mess.

I'm not really sure what this will end up being. I won't promise that it will always be entertaining (though I do find myself rather amusing). I also can't guarantee that I won't sometimes drift into the realm of the melancholy (cause I do tend to be a little glass half empty). All I can say is that it will always be honest-- good, bad, or indifferent it will be the truth. At least the truth as far as I see it.

So there it is, I guess. As far as opening posts of blogs go I'm not sure how this rates: frankly it's not feeling all that original or inspired but hey, they can't all be winners, right?
