So who am I?

I quess if I'm relying on you guys to tell me, I'm really in trouble!

But seriously, this blog is about me... who I am and what I think. So its only fair to tell you a little about who I am, or who I think I am.

I am an educated and intelligent (they're not always the same thing!) man who tends to be a watcher more than a participant. I'm not necessarily a loaner because I really enjoy the company of other inteligent people, but there are times that I prefer to be alone.

Even when I'm hanging out with other people, I'm a little on the quiet side until I get to know them. That may be a matter of minutes, hours, or even weeks... but I honestly feel like I'm a person well worth knowing. Those who suffer through long enough to get to know me and let me open up can sometimes be surprised by the person they discover.

I don't necessarily feel like I'm an exciting person... I usually feel like I'm pretty boring actually, but I realize that I'm usually thinking like that when my confidence levels are down. Those who know me (Hi Inanna!) see this in me and usually try to get me to pull my head out of my ass!! As a matter of fact, Inanna has been trying to help me keep my head out of my ass a lot the last few months (o'kay, so it's more like years, but who's counting). But that's a post for another day.

I'll leave it at that for now. I hope the next few months are a good experience for you and me both as I learn to be a blogger and hopefully you become a faithfull reader and participant.

Until next time, thanks for being here!

So it's about time

I know exactly what Inanna is going to say... "It's about damn time!!" She has been on me for weeks about starting my own blog (especially since I registered this one so I could post comments on hers) so here I am.


As my intro says, my main idea for this blog is to give myself a place where I can be completely honest about what is going on in my life. I can say how I really feel about something/someone/somewhere etc. without worrying about whether I'm stepping on any toes or tickling someone's insecurities. Maybe this will help me not be so bluntly honest with other people when I don't need to be...


And maybe it will help me be more honest with myself when I do.


So please close all tray tables and raise all seats to their upright positions... it may be one helluva ride!
