It seems strange to me that I did not jump into this much earlier. *shrug* Oh well. I have suddenly felt the need to not just chronicle thoughts, but to in a way speak my thoughts, and a blog seemed like the best way to do this. I can not guarantee I will update at any regular pace, but I do want to make this a regular activity if I can.<\/p>\n<p>This is a beginning, but not the beginning.
