the past and pending.

every once in a while, i have this undeniable urge to write about something. and while i may consider my writings to be profound insights, according to my own understanding, i don't know that they really are to anyone else around me. i realize i am late riding this wave of technology, but i have finally decided to open my arms to the blog universe. i have made the connection that blogging provides a medium for which writing has required and an audience or purpose has not.

there are several reasons that i can think of that have prevented me from blogging up until this point...the most re-occurring reason keeps pointing back to maturity...or the lack thereof. in the last week i have discovered a handful of friends whom i have known for short and long periods of time who all have blogspots - not the least of whom are mature, or at least i wouldn't have guessed. for some reason i equate blogging and writing with deep thoughts and emotions brought to light. my lovely wife and her family have a family blog in which a record of family occurrences are blogged...it doesn't go more than 6 hours without someone logging on and posting a comment or creating a new post. and while we are commanded, i believe, to keep a record by the same Being that created this earth, i seldom crack a journal or reflect upon life. the combination of technology and this urge has produced a desire to blog.

you will find that my thoughts are often sporadic and seldom link together. i carry a dominant genetic trait known as attention defecit disorder which also rides in waves of consistency. at times i can be calm and collected with a mellow stream of thoughts. other times, like this current present, my mind is jumbled with millions of words, ideas, and notions....with but 10 fingers to release them.

there is much to write about life at the moment. i don't want to blog it all at once. it defeats the purpose, and i have resolved to blog steadily and with reason. i just hope i can print this out when i am finish the journey.
