Intro.

I've started this blog for a simple reason: I don't want to use MySpace for blogging anymore.

Also, I see this as a step in the right direction to better develop my voice in writing. Writing is something I love and am passionate about; I just can't ever seem to do it as well as I would like. So here's to my hopes of becoming a more honest, reflective, intellectual, and compelling writer.

I'm going to try not to write about myself as much as I used to. I've found it to be vapid and pointless, for the most part. Maybe I'll stick a few personal things in here and there (in the most subtle ways, of course), but on the whole, I want to write about the world around me. It's so fascinating, and I'm only now beginning to realize this. My goal is to uncover those underlying threads of similarity in life that connect me with every other human being, or perhaps that even larger, incomprehensibly massive common denominator of humanity. Okay, maybe a bit too ambitious, I'll admit. Let's start with the simple things and work our way up from there.

Less excessive, more tactile.
