My New Blog
September 12, 2008

Sometimes ego gets the best of even the most humble. And so I’ve started a blog. I tried this once before convinced that all of my co-workers wanted to know my random thoughts on pointless subjects. It turns out they didn’t.

So my hope is that whoever reads this enjoys it and understands that I occasionally find it necessary to believe the world needs to hear my opinion.

Getting to know me:

1. Precision in how one uses language is important to me. Notice I didn’t say it is important to be grammatically correct, merely precise. Being misunderstood is the biggest pet peeve I have and so I’ve developed a skill in precision – frequently misunderstood – in an effort to solve my own problem.
2. I believe there are smart people and stupid people. The differentiator is often whether or not they end up in the newspaper or start a blog. But at heart most people are well intentioned. Don’t be such a skeptic.
3. I ride motorcycles for the rush of adrenaline when you lean over, hit the gas and feel it pull in the pit of your stomach. There is also sufficient minutiae to keep my brain occupied.
4. I like to learn about new things. Then I forget a lot of it because the minutiae interests me, but it’s hopeless to try and remember it all.
5. My dog is the sweetest creature to ever, ever roam the face of the earth. Ever.
6. Ever.
   

With that all said I hope you enjoy my musings. Some will be well written, some will be poorly written, and some will be masterful. I have one or two old posts from my previously abandoned blog that may show up here, so enjoy them as well.
