Coffee, Cards, and a Goatee.

Here goes nothing..
I've been meaning to set one of these buggers up for a while now, and here it is. No comments on how long this will last, who I'll show it to, or when I'll update it, but at least it exists, and that's a start. I also can't comment on what the format will be or what I'll focus on. That's a whole lot of not commenting. I'm also not going to start off by telling anyone vital statistics about myself, my interests or tastes, etc. I wouldn't want to bore you, the viewing public, with a cliche such as that. You'll find out in due time, I'm sure, and the wait should amount to something resembling plot/character development, if such a thing can exist without a defined story.
So I guess, without a reason to put it up, an idea of where its going, or a thought as to whether I'll ever look at it again, I guess that leaves one to wonder what I hope to get out of this, and frankly, I'm not sure of that either. Perhaps a few random people will stumble upon it, and if I'm lucky, someone will be amused. If I'm REALLY lucky, someone will be moved, but lets not set our sights too high. I think, in all honesty, that I'm just going to wait this out and see where it takes me. I know its a lot to ask out of a blog (and what a terrible word that is, it sounds like the noise a boot in the mud makes), but I always attempted to keep a journal as a kid and it never worked. Perhaps the thought of someone else reading it will motivate me more. Maybe I'll get some kind of therapeutic value out of it. And maybe, just maybe, my short ramblings and whimsical notions will strike a chord in someone else, and what is life if not a series of connections? It could be that through this catharsis, I'll come to some great discovery of inner truths that even I wasn't aware of. This could turn into an extraordinary tale of a seemingly simplistic idea that just so happened to turn into the thread that holds together an entire chapter of my life, weaving its way through questions and answers, smiles and tears.
More than likely, its just a blog. A boot in the mud.
...but its free, so why not?
