What is This All About?

Well, here I am. This is my first post of what will hopefully become a place of interesting discussion and spirited debate.

I created this at the recommendation of a friend that advised me that I, simply put, have too many opinions and that this could quite possibly be my soapbox to stand on... Personally, I think that he just wanted me out of his hair.

That being said, I must say that I have a lot to talk about... and this very well may be a good venue to express my opinions, thoughts, and beliefs. The thing that is nice about a blog such as this is that no one will ever read it or even care. If I post an opinion that offends you, by all means, please let me know! That way, we can discuss our thoughts and maybe come to a mutual understanding.

Unfortunately, I think that our society in general has come to a place where differences (in opinion) are looked at as if they are dividers, instead of being celebrated. That being said, if a topic comes up on this blog that warrants discussion (or even an argument), lets not look at that as if it is a bad thing.

What to expect... spelling and grammatical errors. I often type in the stream of consciousness, as if I were speaking. So very often, my "I's" wont be capitalized when they should, or there won't be apostrophe's where they should be, etc. etc. If that kind of thing bothers you, then please don't get involved in the discussion. There is nothing more ridiculous than using misspelled words as "ammo" in an argument to discredit someones position. If that is someones stance, in my opinion, than they usually don't have a solid base to stand on. In my eyes, if the point comes across clearly, who cares about spelling? as long as the meaning of the point is clear, that is all that should matter. (and yes, i know that there is a spell checker!)

You can also expect conversation about things that interest me: Politics, Sports, Religion & Spirituality, Movies/the entertainment industry, Conspiracy Theories, current events, etc. If you have something of interest to discuss, by all means...feel free to comment!

Also...I thought that this blog might be a good way to stay in touch with friends and family and let everyone know how we are all doing.

Anyways, thanks for visiting, and I hope you find this site interesting!
