getting started

Let’s do it this way:

I’ve got a mound of words already in queue for this uber-cool, ultra-trendy invention that I am finally getting on board with, but I’ll start a bit on the traditional side.

First posts generally tell about why the blogger’s blogging away for the invisible masses, and tend to give some general biographical notes. I’ll follow the crowd for the sake of time and clarity. My word mound will require more sincere thought and time than is currently available, and a mildly boring, yet clear-stated intro may serve us well.

I like words. I think. I don’t think it’s just that I like to think, it’s more like my brain is hardwired for analysis. I’m the kid who always asks “why?” I’m the arrogant idiot who is never satisfied with the status quo, knows why and wants to tell everybody, and always has multiple solutions in various stages of development. I’ve just recently ripened to 24 and my wife is commenting on the creases—soon to be wrinkles—at work on my forehead. I think they were predetermined by my dna.

So, I get a kick out of slapping keys for the sake of thoughts. And, I tend to think I have something to say, if only on occasion.

Oh, I got a bonsai today. I think I’m going to name it, but don’t yet know what. If I can, I’ll post a picture. That’ll be cool.

“Dinner’s ready.”

Cheers.
