...will now be explored through blogging!

If I can stay committed that is. I hope that I can, however, because this sort of thing really excites me!

Okay, first thing's first... There are some things I have to explain for my own benefit, and to the benefit of whoever the misfortunate soul is that happens to stumble across this page:

1. If you're wondering about the name...don't. It's from a poem, a very famous poem. Google it, read it, love it (you won't understand it, but love it anyway).

2. I intend to use this blog for absolutely anything and everything that I can think to use it for. I figure I won't be extremely committed to sitting alone in my room for hours each night trying to come up with some great, long philosophical outlook on anyone or anything that I can come and type away on. So if I throw in a couple of one liners or something as a complete post, please don't hate me.

3. I certainly don't think I'm a poor student of the English language, however this may appear to be the case throughout my posts. Just know that I'm not trying to be stupid, or trying to neglect grammar or anything of the kind. I'm simply typing comfortably, as if I were sitting down talking with any one of you guys. I'm sacrificing spelling and composition for the sake of comfort.

4. I will try very very hard not to be too self-indulgent, self-pitying, arrogant, all-knowing, or anything like that. I'm certainly not all-knowing, so if I tried to be I would fail miserably... The others I could very well be if I'm not careful. I understand you all don't have to read my thoughts and are probably doing so just to be nice, so I'll try as best I can to be real about what's going on, both mentally and emotionally without sounding like I know more than I really do, or making more of a situation than it really is.

5. I love love love the art and philosophy of Charles M. Schulz (otherwise known as the guy who draws the Charlie Brown comics), so it could be a theme throughout. Those cartoons have composed a 50 year commentary on life(!)...and I dig that very much.

6. I don't intend for anyone who reads this to be unfamiliar with me, so forgive the lack of a biography. Just read the posts and maybe you'll pick up on a few things (probably you won't).

7. I'm running out of things I need to explain...

8. I love all of you who will actually take the time to read the insignificant (and possibly quite uninteresting) thoughts a Prufrock like myself. I'm no Charlie Brown but I'm fighting to get there...

9. Did I mention I love you guys?


And on that note, I'll bring all explanations to a close. I totally look forward to this, and can't wait to look back on everything I've posted to see if I've gone anywhere since, and to kinda gage how far I have yet to go. Feel free to leave any amount of love you'd like, whether that be posts or hypothetical hugs or whatever. This will either be a great tool, or a dud, and there isn't much left to say other than...let's find out.
