Once Again

Hello web. We meet again.

I've done this before. The whole blogging thing, I mean. It's been a couple years since I've felt the need to put my thoughts into words with a possible chance of someone else reading them.

Why I'm doing this? Well, if any of you reading this knows me well at all, you know I spend a lot of time in my head. Too much time, some would say. Today, I'd probably have to agree. This is a place for me to get it all out. People can read it if desired, or allow it to sit in the wastelands of the intertubes if there's no interest in their heads.

I won't get too flowery on here. I'm an engineer. I'm (usually) logical. Though capable of poetry and art, it's not my forte. And yes, there's supposed to be an accent mark over that e, but I'm too lazy to put it in there.

I'm planning on putting my thoughts into letters, words, sentences as they come. I'll mimimize the backspaces and editing, so what you'll be reading will be as close to being data pipe to my brain as possible. Consider this a disclaimer if some of these paragraphs seem a bit disjointed or lacking in elegance.

I'm sure I'll look back over these posts some day and think how naive I was. That's what happened with my last blog. I thought to myself: "Do I really want people knowing this much about me?"

I've learned a little since then. I've always been a perfectionist, and hated exposing my weaknesses. But you know, it's those mistakes, that naivety, that one can reflect on and truly grow from. Introspection has a value, else we wouldn't have that ability within us.

I don't expect you to agree with everything I write, reader. Hell, I doubt I'll even agree with everything I write a few days after I get it down onto virtual paper. Like I said, read on if you want. This is more for me than you.

So, my blog is created. Traffic is clear for the night, so I think I'll head home. Maybe I'll think of my first substantial post on my drive.
