Where to begin?

I have always been enticed by the idea of starting my own blog, but the social connotations that surround this hobby have never failed to give me pause. Sure, I've entertained a MySpace for a while, but I never thought it comparable to something as "pretentious" as owning and operating a Blogger account. Some of the questions I've pondered dripped from the very same vein that others have bled into dialogue: "Why would anyone care what you think?" or "What makes you so special [to think] that anyone would want to read your thoughts?"

The thing is, even as I'm writing this, I still don't have an answer to those questions. Or rather, I don't have a direct answer. Instead, I have a rationalization of sorts that I have accepted as the one, undeniable truth. I decided to create and maintain this blog out of the acceptance that writing provides the soul with a certain level of catharsis, a purification of the emotions, if you will.

So here it is-- one of billions.

Stick around a bit. You may actually find something worthwhile.
