About

Am I supposed to explain what this site is about or am I supposed to explain what I am about? Honestly, I’m not sure if anybody that reads this really needs to know about me, personally. The fact is, though, without some sort of overview of who I am or what I’m about, the rest of the content on this site may seem random.

Maybe I should just leave it that way. There’s nothing wrong with “random”, is there? If everything had order and purpose, we would all get bored.

That’s one thing my mind is not known for… boredom. Even though I can come across as an average, quiet guy who mostly keeps to himself in real life, I am somebody who has huge ideas and strong opinions and isn’t really afraid of being proved wrong. I won’t claim to be an expert in any given topic, even though I am.

While I’d like to think of myself as “creative”, I sometimes feel that creativity has held me back from creating certain things in the past. While I’d like to think that I am a “writer”, I sometimes feel that writing is only an outlet I use to be able to communicate and learn.

I am interested in a wide range of topics. Those topics include almost everything except celebrity news and gossip. I can’t understand how some people can be so involved in other people’s lives… other people who don’t really even matter.

I will also play devil’s advocate to any side of any story. The only way to have a true discussion about any topic is to see it from all sides, rather than have a close-minded view and limit your mind to only one way of thinking.

Sharing

After all… even if we have big plans for the rest of our life, the fact is that it could all end today, without any notice or warning. What point would there have been to merely “existing” if there were nothing left behind to remind others of your existence?

Even now, when others see you, do they really know who you are or why you’re here? Do they see you as making a difference in the world, or do they see you as just another person that’s not worth the time to get to know? In the same respect, do I see each individual that I meet as somebody that has an interesting life story, or do I see them in their current context?

While I cannot realistically take the time to to listen to the life story of each person that I meet, I can present my life, my thoughts, my experiences, and as much as I can about myself to others. Whether others want to take the time to get to know me… that’s up to them. I can only offer what I have, and nothing more.

Most of what I want to say can’t be broken down into little chunks of 140 characters each. Some of what I’d like to say can’t be said with words, and a lot of the things that I’d like to show you can’t be described by text or images. There’s a “wholeness” that is missing from a lot of what we know about each other and most things that are shared with each other, these days.

I even realize that trying to accomplish sharing “everything” cannot be done, but it can be tried.
