Where to begin

My initial thought on blogs was, 'How pretentious can we get?'. The fact that someone cared to know what you thought and what you had to say. If I want to know what a person thinks on a topic, I'd ask them. Really, how remote can we get with each other? But as my life has become busier due to inner and outer impositions on my time I begin to realize that it is not always easy to check in on everyone at all times. So as I have time, I like to peruse articles online and see what others are thinking, could someone else be doing the same thing...? It was then that I realized that blogs, from their personal aspect to the public domain they take on are nothing more than a diary without paper, pen and lock. A collection of personal takes and insights that are for me but open to others input. I am confronted with the purely cathartic purposes of being able to ponder the world in which I live and take notes from the experience of life and apply them to a versatile medium.

So as Joshua would say, 'Shall we play a game?' (War Games) - er, let's begin. I am a decidedly determined person with penchant for the odd. I stop and look at the world around us and can do 3 different things: Laugh, cry, or get angry. And those three prompt 3 more: follow the herd, be randomly dismissive as what does not affect me directly or engage the world in which I live as salt and light.. I find myself in all of the above. No greater than any man, nor am I any less. A lover of hard and fast categories; simply and tellingly put, a sinner, forgiven but still a fallen creature.
