The main goal of this blog will be to collect and perhaps streamline some of my personal thoughts and opinions. No social network seems to be able to provide me a place to write longform posts and create an environment of discourse around them. While a few of the mainstream social networking sites like Facebook and Tumblr allow for longer blog style content, the environment is hardly suitable. Facebook is for baby pictures from the family, feel good posturing and attention begging. Tumblr also shares much of the latter, though I would hardly call it feel good. Either one seems to use Tumblr to pose as a wonderful fad following person to hide their horrible insecurities and vitriolic attitude, or Tumblr is used to post dank memes and anime waifus (guess which category I fall into). There is of course Twitter, though it's limited capacity for conversing due to the imposed 140-word count guarantees nothing more than an environment of mayhem and discord. Not to mention recent activities by Twitter itself in banning conservative firebrand speakers and their sponsorship and establishment of known people who ran targeted harassment and bullying campaigns such as Crash Override Network. Hardly a place of open and honest discussion.
It shall remain to be seen whether or not Blogger is a good platform to use, but for now it seems as good a place to start as any. From here on out I'll be populating this site with regular updates on things happening in the world and my thoughts of them. Hopefully some others can find some enjoyment or perhaps even some use out of what will be posted here.
