I wanted to start off by explaining who I am, why you may (or may not) care to read this blog and give an overview of the types of blogs you may see in the future.
For those who have known me for any period of time, it will come as no surprise when I state that I am blessed (plagued?) with a mind that rarely shuts down. I often wake in the middle of the night with some random thought that gets added to a list of things to ponder when time allows. I try not to offend folks with these tidbits, but my quest for understanding oftentimes outweighs my concern for the gentle sensitivities of those around me. I consider myself a devout Christian and Protestant, despite the fact that I don't regularly attend church services. I should probably do better with that, but I've yet to find a congregation that I consider truly uplifting. When that day comes, they'll have to bar the doors to keep me out!
I'm fortunate enough to work in a field that has held my interest for 15 years (Information Technology). I've worked for a couple of companies during this period, and I've met numerous people who I regard as some of the most intelligent people in the world. Of course, the flip side to that coin is that I've also worked around some of the most insanely useless people in the world, too. I'm sure most working stiffs can relate to that!
My interests are varied: Spending time with my family and small circle of close friends (I'll try to leave them out of my blog-o-rrhea as much as possible), Music (metal, blues, jazz, and even small doses of bluegrass on occasion), NBA basketball (GO LAKERS!) and to a lesser degree NCAA basketball (GO HEELS!), technology, Other sports (football and baseball), Reading (mostly fiction of the fantasy genre), Politics (as it relates to Christianity) and last/least work.
What types of entries might one find here? Well...it could be related to any of my interest outlined above, or it could be anything that has held my attention for a period of time. One day I may complain about how Christians forget all about Christianity when they drive (coming soon!), why the Lakers will not have a 3-peat, why the iPad is the most overrated piece of technology ever thrust upon the public, or possibly some info on a movie I caught on TV. In short...you can expect to find most anything. I hope the two or three visitors will enjoy my musings and will provide feedback (when warranted) and return often!
