Blog?! You’re not a Blogger!

I know that is what you are thinking.

And don’t worry, I’m not going to be one of those guys that gets a blog and then feels like he automatically has a platform to say whatever wants. A fellow beardo wrote a beautiful post on this recently, and I’d have to say I agree with him 110%.

Then why the heck do you have a blog then?

Well despite the inherent irony of posting a blog about how people feel they are owed attention, I would like to have a place to articulate thoughts. To process what is going on in my life. Blankenship said it best when he said that..

“Writing helps me process, and without the act of forming words and sentences and paragraphs, I’m often left with vagaries and half-formed approaches to topics rattling around in my head. If I can’t explain something in a form that makes sense (even to myself), then how can I truly say I understand it?”

Alright, that makes sense.

I knew you’d see it my way. But just to be completely forthright, I’ll go ahead and let you know that a lot of my posts might just end up being random links to things I’m enjoying (this may/may not include superfluous amounts of beard related paraphernalia).

Anything else I should know?

Nope.
