So Here Goes...

So...I don't know much about this blog crap. I know LJ sure loved to read the musings of others and seemed to really enjoy updates on people's lives in sites like I imagine myself creating. The reality is that this may just be a week-long distraction from what my life has become.

I guess I should start in true teacher fashion by stating my objectives. My objective for this space is really for me to get the crap swirling in my head out. I see this space as a place for me. If you read it, rad, I hope you're entertained or something. If I offend/disturb/bother you, see my first objective. As LJ would tell you, I'm "kinda abrasive," and unfortunately for you (and me in general, and especially in my social interactions...), she isn't here to temper and guide my maligned personality; so again see objective numero uno. My second and much less important objective is for the people who surround me to have one more way to check up on me. I recognize how easy it is for me to become an island, and i'm trying to fight the urge to turtle the hell up and avoid everybody and everything.

As for some of the things I think I'll write about... Family and friends of LJ: I will try to warn you if more sensitive parts of our relationship/her death/my life are going to be talked about. I can't imagine I'll post anything too bad, but again, I'm an abrasive asshole sometimes, and when i'm emotional/exhausted (see: almost always) I have less of a filter than normal.

So...Yeah, I guess this is how I'll start this thing. Word.
