A New Start and a Promise

Hi there.

I should probably start by confessing that I usually hate personal blogs. So, there are a few things I would like to do differently here that I hope will help us all have a better time than we've been shown by some of the blogs in the past.

Now that's out of the way, let's start into a little history!

I have started 3 blogs before this one, and none of them lasted longer than a month. They all died for the exact same reason - I had nothing to say. I couldn't keep up the illusion that there were very many people who would actually care about my day to day tedium, no one likes a complaint/rant blog, and I make a point of not sharing my opinion with those who haven't asked for it.

By continuing to read and/or willingly logging into this website you are officially asking for it.

On top of not wanting to push my opinion onto oppressed readers everywhere, I do not believe that I am an expert on very many things. If I were someone else listening to me talk, I would take my own opinion with a grain of salt. However, I believe the topics I would cover in this blog could genuinely help those who were willing to listen. I think people everywhere can find something unique and useful at this blog.

Thus, a blog is born.

And now a promise, from me to you:

1. All writing by me is merely a jumping board from which the real discussion can begin. The real content will be in the comments made by anyone who wishes to contribute. 
2. All comments will be heard and considered with equal weight.
3. I will NEVER rant, complain, or speak out of bitterness. Also all of my writing will be backed by sound evidence and experience.
4. Everything posted on this site will be useful.
5. Nothing posted on this website will be an attack, any kind of mudslinging, or meant to offend any party. 
6. If I know you personally, our relationship will not hinge on you reading this blog. I won't follow up with you or ask you to market to your friends. 

Please comment as you wish!
