By "here", I sort of mean in the existential sense, but more in the blog sense. I have started this blog to chronicle the second half of my life (maybe longer if I reach my goal of living to 100).
I am a creative person by nature, and without some sort of creative outlet, I start to go nuts. Not locked up nuts, but mope around the house nuts. Can't sit still nuts. Take up a new hobby that costs too much nuts.
I am a graphic designer by profession, but in the back of my mind I have always wanted to be a writer. Fiddling around with a blog seems like a good way to satisfy a little of both urges.
That's what I want to write about.
I want to write about a lot of things, explore a lot of ideas. Some would say I want to expound on topics just to hear myself think. I'm not sure if that's entirely bad. The unexamined life and all. I want to talk about my passions in life, like traveling, photography, and my cute little dog. Sappy, but true. I want to explore some of the ideas that percolate around in my head, some new, some old, some obviously insane. I want to grab a current topic and wrestle it into submission, look at it from as many angles as I can, and then let it go, without the referee stepping in. I want to try my hand at some creative writing, and suffer the internal struggle everyone who creates goes through.
But mostly I want to have fun. Oh, and live to 100.
