Purpose

I created this mainly for myself, though there are those of you whom I would like to read the periodic entries here. Luckily, though, this is by no means that cry for desperation, one of those ever-so-unique attempts at self-legitimacy and identity in our world of anonymity. Please. Unique? By no means. I'm one of the last people who needs to be reminded of his insignificance, his inconsequentiality, his lack of gravitas. In a good five years or so, I'll look back at this post and think of how I should have lightened up, and remark on what an awful pretentious jerk I must have been to write something like this. Is it ironic that I both acknowledge that fact and continue to write this more "serious" of endeavors? Ironic maybe in the same sense that a person like me chooses to make a "blog" at all. Who do I think I'm kidding?

Those of you who know me well enough to understand why I would create a journal like this would probably say that it's long overdue. At the top of the list of those people is myself, of course. I might just have to start taking life more seriously for there to be more vividly interesting posts. I'll be so disappointed when I come back and read this. Good luck with that, world. You better get to work. Anyways, I anticipate that this, in all likelihood, will help immensely to have a legitimate outlet for those rare moments that I find my modern life important enough to document. That being said, it's probably also a good idea to make a schedule of periodic entries - which sounds painful enough to me at the moment. Friday or Sunday, then. One entry a week? Who do I think I'm kidding?

All that being said, I'm sure that those of you who would read this (as well as myself, whenever I happen to return to these age-old entries. Even at the moment of my writing this, it is ancient history, after all. Funny thing about that.) have an idea, however vague, of why I do what I do (I'll leave inquiries at your discretion). Now, ignoring that the previous was an incredibly loaded sentence, I would like to say now that the point of this is as much to keep track of what I'm going through as it is to "keep track" of future going-throughs. Figure that one out.

By God's grace, I'll make it out of here alive.
