This is my journal, there are many like it but this one is mine...
Hello and welcome to the very first entry.

I've never done anything like this before, though I do have to admit to attempting to keep hand-written journals before. I'm not exactly sure where I should start or what I should say at this point. I do think that this endeavor will be a lot more fruitful since I will have the luxury of adding to my journal more easily, then carrying around a notepad, or notebook or some other bound paper form of media. Can we say thank you internet for invading our lives nearly completely?

I'm also more optimistic that I will be able to keep up with this journal, since I can type a lot faster than I can write. Without sounding arrogant, my brain works at unusual speeds and thoughts flow through and out of me at incredible rates. So much so, that in a normal conversation if I am not careful my comments and words can emcompass several topics and end up being more of a distraction than an addition.

I would like to point out that though this is intended as a public journal, a serious look into the journey that is me this is in no way an attempt at vanity. I want to look at this as a better way of placing my thoughts, fears, doubts and successes into view, for perusal and understanding than a way of garnering thousands of hits per day. I've read journals like that. I've read postings on messageboards, and several different types of forums of interesting and articulate people. I have no hope that I will be numbered among them.

This is the journey that is me. There are no tickets to buy, no standard lay-overs, no daily requirement of attendance and you can get on and off this journey whenever the mood strikes you. I just thank you for your understanding, your patience in trying to understand me, and your criticisms on the stupidities I have created.

Welcome.
