A Statement of Goals (or, Theoretically a Good Idea, but Something I Probably won't Accomplish)

It's been a week since I first created this blog in a desire to post in a more public medium, as opposed to my Myspace account, which is not as readily reachable. I always seem to have a great deal to say; however, I never really take the time to say it or, worse, the time to actually research an issue before I open my mouth when I do speak up.

The purpose of this blog will, hopefully, rectify my lack of both personal education and speaking my mind more often. Earlier today, I was thinking I would try to push for one post a day, working with mostly political issues and then branching outward into other subjects. If, one day, I have a relatively mediocre-sized following of readers, I will poll them for topics they would like to see.

Once a day, however, is an incredible commitment for me. Between a job, two children and the preparations to head back to college this spring, I find myself lacking the time (and the discipline) to spend studying site after site of material. So, perhaps once a week would be a better idea.

As per my usual style, this blog is rambling a bit. As part of my experience, I would like to experiment with new styles of writing and, perhaps, find one better suited for discussing the sorts of topics I'd like to tackle.

So, as it is... once a week with a randomly chosen topic. I don't have the 'verbal' personality of some of the local bloggers nor do I have their levels of education. I don't expect to have a wide reader base. In fact, I'm not certain what I'm expecting from this blog, other than to develop my own knowledge.

We'll see how well I stick to it.
