I’ve decided to start writing again. I guess this is “blogging” really, but I don’t like that term. It sounds too modern/post-modern/edgy/contemporary/bleh for me. If you “blog,” please continue to do so, and don’t be offended that I don’t like the term, because I love the concept. I like the idea of people sharing their thoughts in a tangible form. Even though probably a solid half of the thoughts being shared should be thoughts being hidden, I think it’s good to share how we feel and think. It allows us to learn from each other and learn with each other and open our minds to new ideas that might be better than the one’s we had before.
Let’s get something straight before anyone reads anything of minute value, though, I’m not trying to change your mind. I’m just sharing mine. In fact, I welcome your thoughts. Really, I just want you to think. Then share your thoughts. We don’t do that enough. We bottle up what we think and feel until it overflows in grand displays of horrific action. We try so hard not to offend people that we drown ourselves in the process. On the contrary, I hope I offend you, not because of rudeness or inappropriate references, but because you see some glimmer of truth in the words I write and it makes you evaluate what it is you believe. Because it’s what’s happening to me and I want to share it. I’m getting offended and I’m getting my walls broken down and my face ripped off by truth, and it’s changing me in ways I never imagined. So read on, if you want. Share your thoughts on my thoughts. Call me an idiot. Call me a cynic, a liar, a sinner, and an egotistical control freak. Offend me. Hopefully you’ll only be returning the favor.
