Once upon a time, when I was less adept at knowing when to speak and when to listen, I had a teacher tell me that my comments in class and conversation were like parts of a monologue that continually ran in my head but that the connections between what I said were often not communicated. I think that's basically the same for most people, but it always stuck with me (hence the name of this Blog). Now, I've decided to try to catalogue the various ideas and reactions I've got bouncing around in my brain. As many of you will know, I've been very active on facebook the last year, but it doesn't really allow for more complete development of thoughts. So, at least in theory, this will allow a more accurate look at what's going on in there.
I expect there to be analysis of politics, abstract theories on society, reactions and reviews to the things I'm reading/playing/watching/listening to and maybe even some creative writing. If you know me, you know I've always been a little eclectic and this blog will probably reflect that. For those of you more astrologically inclined, it will be pure Gemini with Mercury in close conjunction. For instance, I'm thinking there will soon be posts on reading poetry, masculinity in culture, my interpretation of the Adam and Eve story in Genesis and the new Queens of the Stone Age album. Hopefully you'll find it interesting enough to comment on and maybe we can foment some discussion here. If not, I hope it's entertaining and a little food for thought. Happy reading, more to come soon.
