Thank you for welcoming me into your busy life! I will be writing on just about anything that comes to mind, in whatever literary style or presentation I may be feeling on any given day, but typically in short form fashion because I surprisingly get bored with writing if I indulge in this great passion of mine for too long. Feel free to disagree with anything I write as the days and weeks and months unfold before us; you are entitled to that right in our free uncensored society, and should hold it dear to your chest. Having said that, you certainly do not need my explicit permission to speak your mind and probably would anyway. I have no idea how long this blog will run or how extensive it might become, but along the way I hope to awaken or inspire emotions inside you on rare occasions, and hopefully more than that if the planets align and conditions are right. And if I cannot accomplish said feat through the preternatural power of the word–After all, words are easily the most powerful weapons in the world, far more so than nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles or elaborate cluster bombs–then I am wasting not only your time but my own too, and should go back to punching a time-clock twice a day, five days a week. But I digress here; I do strongly believe in the intrinsic power of words along with my own ability to sculpt and properly organize those devilish, chameleonesque things into fascinating creations, so hopefully we can both walk away from my upcoming literary endeavor with a measure of lasting benefit complemented by a driving thirst for still more sustenance. I look forward to giving birth to dynamic new material within this Internet blog, and hope that as the future encroaches on the present you will wait with anticipation for a regular helping of original, valuable writing as well.
Most “facts” are little more than strongly held opinions dressed up in fancy soiree dresses and three-piece tuxedoes. –Frederick J. Blahnik
