I haven't exactly figured out what I'm going to do with this space, but I know I need somewhere to document my life. I may just be screaming into the void and that's OK.
There are a couple reasons I figured I'd start here. First, my memory has never been great and I want to have a repository that isn't constantly assaulted by political "discourse." Second, I want to work on my writing. I've never really been a writer (I'm an engineer ferchrissake), but it's something that has always intrigued me.
So I'm going to hopefully post all sorts of things in an attempt to figure out my authentic life. Space stuff, DIY projects, board games, books, travel; probably discuss depression and anxiety. Maybe you find something interesting or useful, maybe this goes viral and I become a blogging billionaire. Or maybe not. The one thing I can guarantee is that it'll be a veritable shit show.
There's always been a hole in my experience. Sometimes I sit with the void and stare into the abyss. This leads to either contemplating the scope of the universe in awe or succumbing to existential fear. Other times I assault my senses with stimuli of various sources. Right now? Writing and watching football. Can I just focus on one thing? Sometimes. Usually I'm distracting myself, making everything just a bit harder than it needs to be.
I've actually been thinking about starting a website for years now. Having pursued a mostly rational and technical path, I've repeatedly wondered what a creative life could've held for me. Then I'd recall how much I hate putting myself in front of people at which point I'd go back to whatever solo activity in which I was engaging.
I'm sure the focus of this blog will focus as time passes, but for now I'm going to use it as a sounding board for what's piqued my interest at the moment.
So what the hell, let's ride the lightning.
