To be honest I should have done this a long time ago, this being my first post I assume I should elaborate on myself and my blog and what it is for (as I struggle with the purpose of things often to a dangerous extent. I am constantly trying to find the answer to why in all things...including this blog I guess, but this is a conversation for a different time.) As a person I am extremely self aware (a curse to be sure) and analytical, give me a problem (not math, ew never math, I'm talking life problem) and I will tell you why people did what they did said what they said, because I like to think that there is a reason for every thing and I think I can find it. Not that I am telling y'all to open up your flood gates and release your beans(as opposed to spilling them) I am merely exacting the same blunt honesty i just talked about on my self, even I have a reason for what I do (if you can't tell this gets really frustrating.)
But, please don't think of me as a computer person who has no social skills and can't think creatively. On the contrary I love art in all its beautiful forms it chooses to express itself. I myself love photography, all of it. Canon shots, abstract, artsy, land scape, portrait, the whole enchilada (which, if you want to know, if my favorite Mexican food.) I plan to post some of my art on here and use it for my template. I can sketch if I put in the time, I like the old style sketchy images, especially in charcoal. I find that if something serves its true purpose it will be beautiful in doing so. Really that's for architecture and other objects but people can be that way as well.
Another thing that might be key in understanding my writing is that I am a nerd. I can speak in latin and do so frequently, currently I am reading Dante's inferno, Doctor Jeckle and Mr. Hyde, and the hobbit (a second time) none of these are for school. In fact I am reading these so I can put off reading what I am supposed to read, the Confessions of Saint Augustine. Last year I completed the Theban trilogy, the Odyssey, the Aenied, and the epic of Gilgamesh (for you non nerds that is the oldest book in the entire world.) I play an Irish penny whistle on my own time, listen to Irish pub rock, classical music, classic rock, Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson, and lest I forget Mumford and sons. I have an infinite chasm of nerdyness that I could elaborate on, but I won't, cause every one would die.
So I guess the purpose for this was just to let you know who I am (of course words on a page could never capture the true essence of a person unless of course that person was created by those same words then words can hold their true persona, but me, being real, along with all other humanoids cannot be captured entirely with words alone as we are so much more than that) and get a start on this whole blogging stuff, so hail to my 2 followers! I guess more than being listened to we just need to write to get our thoughts strait, see what we ourselves think. Maybe thats just me.
