Introduction

I've come to think a blog is a bit of a shameless, plug for your own ego. However, I have decided to jump head-first into the blogosphere. You'll have to endure, or not, this self-indulgent bent. I will explore subjects of my choosing and I may share personal details from time to time but only as it adds meaningful context to the subject matter.

You see, everything is relative. I may experience something in tandem with you, at the same time, witnessing all you do, yet our relative experiences up to and after that event will largely determine how we interpret and react to it. We are all individuals with different backgrounds and different points of view.

From time to time I will share with you why my context leads me to the interpretation of an event in a particular way. I will make no bones about trying to get people to agree with and interpret events similarly as I do in an attempt to effect change. I hold to my convictions and beliefs passionately and fervently. I will take issue with people and their actions. I may do this in a way you totally disagree with and may even find objectionable in one way or another. I don't wake up in the morning with my mission being to offend but sometimes it just comes naturally.

I hope you will read, absorb and comment about what I say. Not everyone wants to change the world but, I see certain corners of it that I feel need change. To that end, I will write and comment about our world, focusing primarily on local issues because that is what I know best day to day. Come along for the ride and if you agree with me, follow my lead. If you take issue with what I say, by all means, write me or contact me. I love a good debate, or should I say, I love to win a good debate!
