Why a blog??

If you're reading this you have come across my blog by chance as the title should be self explanatory.  I've created it as a place of refuge for some of my thoughts.  I've always had a preference for "thinking" which explains my lack of surprise when my Myers Briggs personality test came out of be "ENTJ".  

The benefit of being a thinker means you can see the world as it is without the emotional skew...  unfortunately this is often to the neglect of personal relationships which can take a back seat to a thinkers personal quest for truth.  

Ideally I would like to develop and get my thoughts out of the way here so I am not enslaved to them when I try to go to bed (or at any other time for that matter) ...

I don't anticipate this to be a perfect remedy, but at least I'm doing more than the average American watching 4-6 hours of TV a day.   I imagine my TV bashing will be a theme for many posts as I believe it is the source/symptom of our cultural deterioration.   Don't get me wrong I enjoy the occasional show, but it's hard for me to watch people waste hours of their time on programming...  because that is exactly what happens (it's programming you).
