Grab Your Hats!

If you're reading this, you've stumbled upon one of the most inconspicuous, secretive places on the internet. Not because I've got secrets, mind you, but because I'm brand new and, most importantly, because this is a blog about anything, everything and nothing. I'm a start-up writer, freelancing for a few different clients in my spare time, and everyone wants to know where my blog is, and I didn't have one to give them! I thought it quite superfluous to have one, since I didn't really have anything to say on one of the things, but after receiving the same inquiry ad infinitum, as most of humanity, I resign myself to supplying a somewhat satisfactory answer to those requesting in order to adhere myself to the social norms being external imposed.

Thus, on this insipid and somewhat tedious day, I have finally blazed the trail and settled myself on being a blogger. This isn't my first excursus into the so-called "blogosphere", rubbing elbows with the wannabe politicos and religious zealots offering an unsolicited two cents as well as the new moms drooling over every drool of their newborn as if such events have never before occurring in the history of mankind. I used to be some of the above (obviously not the lattermost, as I find myself ineligible by gender when it comes to assuming the title of "mommy") but I must admit to political blogging in my past, simply for the sake of full disclosure from the outset, lest such dark secrets be exposed later on. However, I was relatively obscure (read: totally unknown) and so I hope it will not be held against me here.

It's also my hope that those who read, given the above paragraph, will understand the semi-sarcasm found in the previous paragraph. I don't hate blogs, or bloggers, and follow quite a few. You'll see these pop up from time-to-time as I comment and link to them. Some are authors, some various religious, and some are those random doting mothers (sorry, they're personal friends and I have a you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours approach to these kinds of things). I also don't hold this blog or myself up to be something great. I'm not a "literary blogger" if such a thing even exists. This will be for the dumping of pithy thoughts, interesting snippets of things I find on the interwebs and random comments on whatever gets stuck in my head that particular day.

Essentially, this will be a place to link to other stuff I'm doing, stuff I like and a dumpster for everything I don't have another place for. Posting will, no doubt, be sporadic and free-form. Being quite the meticulous person I tend to be, this will be an interesting experiment for me to have and run something that is meant, by design, to not have design. An enigma wrapped in a mystery and coated with a paradox, as some might say.

So, we'll see how this deliberately random thing goes. Hold on to your hats, because, quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.
