I can't sleep

Rarely, do I have trouble sleeping. Tonight is one of those periods of darkness. My thought is simple: If Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne can live the crevices of their lives out on television, why can't I have a forum on the internet to speak honestly about the comings and goings of my life. Thus, the blog. I have been experimenting with the blog for a little over a week now, and I really enjoy this.

It is now time to tell people that the blog is available, and to put it on out there. So, if you are reading this, here is basically what this house on the internet is:
* A vent for my thoughts (Political, personal, spiritual). It is not a judgement on society, or a blow to start a fight. It is simply a place where I can write what's on my mind.
* A home for my words. Hardly any one knows that I have spent most of my life writing. I would say out of the thousands of people I have met over the years, less than 10 know that I spend time writing prose, short essays, commentary and poetry. That is about to change. The number is going to grow to at least a dozen now! :) My works are dark, honest and sometimes very messy. They deal with the darkness of religion, my personal demons and struggles, and anything in between. Get used to it. When I go back into my past and read what I wrote during college, it is a whole different ball game from when I was freshly graduated and in the workforce for the first time. My writings are very different between the time I was not a parent, and after I became one. There are several other junctures that are reflected in these writings, and I celebrate the humanity of my existence.
* Music, sports and literary commentary. There is too much great art in the world that lies within these three areas to not take a space on the blog.

Enjoy this. Please post or e-mail me any comments, and never allow yourself to NOT share something that you would like. I do not take anything personal.

Thank You,

Scott
