Initial Thoughts

"If you are a writer, the assimilation of important experiences almost obliges you to write about them. Writing is how you make the experience your own, how you explore what it means to you, how you come to possess it, and ultimately release it."

I've long been an advocate for the benefits of writing thoughts down, but initially I didn't think this wouldn't be something I would like to try. The more blogs and columns I read or come across the more things I want to write down myself. Writing helps me to think through things and come up with conclusions I'm not able to get to in other ways.

I wouldn't actually call this a blog, but rather a place to just sift through some thoughts of randomness. Anything I come across or want to write about I will throw in here.

I came across Will's blog earlier in the summer and also across Derek's blog at some point. Both had some things I found interesting. I like the keep-in-touch factor without the over the top nature of facebook and myspace. If someone is interested they can check it out if not no big deal. I also like the idea of being able to look back and have my thoughts and other's archived.

I don't plan on many people seeing this, but figured if I'm going to spend time writing it I might as well share it. This is also much easier than actually hand-writing things down, which is a discipline all its own.
So...
