For my first post, I would like to state the intention of this blog.  I don't write very much, but I think it will be a good practice to update this blog once a week for my own personal growth as a person.  this blog will cover many many topics as the things that stand out to me each week will change very much.  to me, this is a catalog, a record of my journey throughout the year, or however long I pursue this medium of expression.  I hope for this to be a way for many of my close friends, who really don't know me well, to understand my crazed and unusual psyche.  For others who I may be acquainted with, or strangers who chance upon this blog, I hope to share my experiences and my journey with you all.  I want to be clear and say that it is quite possible that I will offend some readers with my views on things. I am always open to criticism or argument, as I am always looking for new ways to grow or learn. 

I invite you all to join me on my journey.
