Welcome, friends.
I have toyed with the idea of starting this blog for some time now, so I am excited to begin.
The purpose of this interweb exercise is essentially two-fold. Firstly, I want to get back into the habit of writing, which is something I have been away from since college (way back in December of '09). Writing, or writing well*, brings me a considerable amount of joy, and I sincerely wish to find my way back to consistently jotting down many of my ideas, thoughts, stories, poems, etc., etc. The transition from thought to written word is a great challenge, so, for myself, a certain sense of accomplishment and wonder accompany everything I write. Because of this, I have hopes that others will find as much enjoyment reading this blog as I do in writing it.
Which, I suppose, brings me sort of clumsily and haphazardly to the second purpose of my blog - to inform. Now, I am not so presumptuous to presume that I will be informing anyone of things that they do not already know (or I might, I just don't want to be presumptuous). I am all too aware of the shortcomings I have as a thinker and a writer. However, I sincerely feel that I have recently come across a few items, namely articles and essays, that may be of some use to any and all who choose to read over my posts. To clarify, I want to inform others of what I have recently been informed of myself. I wish to stimulate deep thinking and challenge presuppositions not only in my own life, but in the lives of others. I have a great feeling that myself and those people around me think wrongly about things more often than they think rightly. And I want to fight against wrong thinking in a bad way.
Anyway, as the title suggests, this is brief. More to come soon.

*As a disclaimer, those things which I believe to be written well may or may not be written well. While I have been out of the habit of writing for nearly a year, the habit of bad grammar and making up words never goes away.
