Hello, everyone. I decided to try keeping an online journal of sorts. There are a couple purposes/goals for this:
1) Entertainment - for myself and you readers. I spent a lot of time last summer reading blogs; I might as well spend time writing my own.
2) Insight - hopefully by taking the time to consider and express some of my thoughts and feelings, I will come to understand myself better. Certainly, I may withold things from this journal because it's public, but I would also like to offer you readers (friends, family, strangers...) the opportunity to learn more about me, if you choose.
3) Enlightenment - there are a lot of things that neither of us know. I like to think that I've been blessed with a modest look at truth, and I would like to share what I know with others, because truth is beautiful and truly sets us free. Furthermore, I trust that you readers can offer some reciprocal enlightenment, especially if I write about a controversial issue, where there is evidence for conflicting theories.

There you have it. Let us see where this goes.
