An introduction

I'm bored right now, and when I'm bored I think. So, what did I think about?

It occurred to me that I enjoy writing. But, lately, my only "writing" has taken place on stupid internet forums, and the occasional scientific paper (ie. the most soulless, driest writing in the universe). So, maybe some recreational writing would scratch this momentary literary itch I have. Nice thing about the internet is, I can start a blog and write whatever I want. No need to argue with angry nerds about stupid crap, like which operating system is superior, or which guitar scale length is superior.

One of my goals in life has been to write a book. I have no idea what about. Fiction or non-fiction... whatever. But, how will I ever develop my written "voice", if I barely ever use it. Hence, this.

Now, assuming I don't just drop this endeavour immediately, this is what you can expect out of this blog: Literally anything I happen to be thinking about. I'd like to think I'm a pretty open-minded individual. I try to remove myself of bias as much as possible, and look at everything objectively. Or, at least, form an objective opinion about something, even if I don't intend to act on it.

I have no idea if anyone will follow this. I'm not going to actively promote this to my friends or whatever. If I do, I'll probably just get pestered with "ohmygawd why haven't you updated your blog?" This exercise is purely for me.

So, there it is.
