Blog number one: Another new guy...

For the past few months my friends have been talking about blogging. I've known about it for years, but always have been reluctant to try it. I guess I compare it to having a newspaper which everyone reads and criticizes. Not that I'm against criticism, it's just that I never been fond of those types of people who shoot down other peoples work just for their own amusement or without even having a valid reason to.

Anyway, after much thought and curiosity, I figured I would give it a try. Just to see where it would take me.

To be straightforward, I'm not much of a writer. I'm just a guy who needs to get things off of his chest once in a while. The unfortunate part is noone would really listen so starting this blog would (I guess) be my futile attempt to get my voice heard or at the very least just get a little peace of mind.

Yes, most likely you would say, "you're friends would listen to you." But in the past I've had someone say to me, "I don't care about your life, I'm not a psychiatrist." That one sentence hit me so hard that it led me to believe that I shouldn't ever to share my thoughts with my friends. I shouldn't burden my friends with my problems. If I did, would they care? Would they even understand? But without a friend to share it with, where do I turn to an an outlet?

My main goal of this blog is to just have my perspective out there. Just to have a place where I can just let out the random in my head and show my point of view of the world around me as I see it. This is the attempt to describe the world we live in through the eyes of a guy of no particular distinction, an insignificant part of society, another number in the statistic, another face on this overpopulated planet.

And so this venture begins, welcome to my mind.
