Blog

Since this will be read primarily* by myself, this first post is an exercise in navel gazing but will serve as a rationale of sorts.

This Blog has been written mainly because i was reading the blogs of others and decided that i was just as sophisticated as these others and there was no reason why i couldn't have a blog of my very own. That bit of honesty aside I have a few other more sophisticated reasons for and goals of this blog.

• To act as a journal of sorts, to keep me sane. Having lived inside my head for long enough I have realized** that my mind is a thing not fully in my control. So to aid in my avoidance of Alzheimer's some structuring of thoughts could be helpful. So why do this as a blog? Because as a decidedly selfish individual I have always entertained the idea that most other people ought to be interested in what I think.
• Secondly, (although I have always wondered if it is valid to use the term secondly not having introduced the the prior point with similar designation ie firstly) this blog will serve as a place to explore in writing some of my theological ponderings (pondering is acting as a noun in this sentence).
• This Blog will serve as a place to share some of the more creative ideas as I have them, which if not written down will simply evaporate into the air.
• In an effort to encourage people to read my blog, I will also place some articles of entertainment value.

Unfortunately I cannot guarantee any level of Grammatical adherence in even this sentence, let alone the entire blog, and I sincerely apologize to those who are bothered by such things. I quite often use words that I don't fully understand, and just as often cannot spell these same words, this also I will apologize in advanced for. I also cannot guarantee that this blog will be of any interest to anyone but myself.

But do not be disheartened if all goes to plan this should be a lot of fun for all involved.

"A long and weary traveler, he walked into a beard. a long and weary traveler t'was just as he had feared. For as he wandered further in, his beard went further out. And as he traveled on; his compass, he began to doubt. He had no fear for anything, as you will surely see. this man began to see his life and it was never free.

*Actually lets be perfectly honest it will be read only by me.

**This word processor seems to prefer American spellings, so for the sake of argument this blog will, but for a few exceptions where I will undoubtedly forget to adjust it, use American spellings.***
