So, Why a Blog?

So why do a blog? Blogs are interesting things, and a month or so ago, I wouldn't have even considered making one. However, over the past few weeks I thought that would be a good way of expressing myself, something that I haven't been able to do in the restricted environment I currently inhabit. This lack of expression has been something that I realize is has been bothering me for the longest time and I believe I have just realized how to fix it. This blog, in addition to my renewed interest in doing artwork, will hopefully allow me to not only release some of the frustration inside of me, but also give me a place to reflect upon my life and past mistakes as I re-invent myself for the second time.

Do I expect this blog to become popular? The part of me that thinks realistically and rationally assures me this is a resounding "No, of course not." However, that ever-present fantastical side of me wants this to be something really big and great. So, while the former possibility is the most likely outcome, if you somehow found yourself reading this blog, feel free to share it. I really hope I may meet some other interesting people who share similar life experiences as I do.

So, this is a rather recursive first blog entry, I'm sure, seeing as I'm just talking about the blog itself. So, what should you expect from this blog? I guess a little bit of everything, but in no real particular order. My interests are rather broad, so this will act kinda like my stream of consciousness, but over a period of week months and maybe years, rather than over about a minute. So there may be anything from talking about experiences in my life, to software/game reviews, to video tutorials, to complaints about society and politics. However, I will try, in every post to show how it pertains to not only me and others in my situation, but humanity and society as a whole. I understand this may be quite difficult for some of the above topics, but I will try.

So, my guess is that no one will ever read this entry, but if you do, please enjoy!
