The Adventure Begins...

In this new world of blogging and facebooking I've found myself quite satisfied as a mere bystander. Reading the thoughts of others is certainly entertaining, interesting, and at times even enlightening. Eventually though, you can't borrow someone else's log-in name anymore because they change the password, you have to take that step of commitment and get an account of your own. I have now taken that step.

If forced to give a reason for reluctance, I would have to say that I was trying to stay "off the grid." In many movies and books you see people disappear from regular society and getting their fingerprints neutralized, or using painstaking care to conceal their identities in various ways. These people always tend to be the good guys in the story, the hero or heroine, hiding from whatever evil happens to be the daily special. Evil, on the other hand, is often portrayed as leading the masses, big wigs in modern society; essentially bad guys who are succeeding at that taking-over-the-world goal, with discreet tactics. So I guess, subconsciously, I've learned and have been hiding from the bad guys.

My hope will be that in having a blog I’ll be participating in society enough to not fall behind the times. I’ll do my best to write for the good of mankind, rather than its destruction.
