Here lies my inaugural post

Hello, World. Long-time viewer, first-time caller. I've been wanting for a long while to get a personal weblog up, but there had always been some (seemingly) good reason to procrastinate or not give it the priority it deserves—not anymore. I'm not sure what exactly had been holding me back; maybe it's partly that working on the Internet can make one overly critical about what's worthy of being published to it. Or my former idea that, if you want to stand on your soap box, you must first build it, sand it, finish it, and paint it all before being able to stand on it and express yourself. Feh, I hereby declare that it doesn't need to be so deep. Time to have some fun and join the online conversation that you've all been having without me.

So, Why?

Why even blog? Like I said, I want to join the online conversation. I spend a good chunk of my life online consuming and interacting with information. I'd like a way to have more of an online identity and a voice than my shared photos, music, social network profiles, and anonymous comments allow me to have. I know know some pretty cool bloggers too who've certainly been a source of inspiration for me (thanks for that).

Thanks for stopping by. I hope something compels you to return.
