Method to the Madness
Sunday, 7 December 2003
First Post
OK, we're firing up this bad boy for the first time.

I've been thinking for a long while that I could use a public forum for rants, ravings and such. Not only is this a warmup for published writing, but also a possible prelude to web design.

What's on my mind today: Lost Opportunity.

How many of us spend our lives just drifting through it, just wandering on from one crazy thing to the next? How many of us have goals or dreams, let alone well-defined ones? And how many of us have talents that we let drift away or languish idly while we pursue our menial daily lives?

No, this isn't a prelude to a self-help tome. It is however, something I spend a great deal of time pondering, especially when I observe others around me.

Including me. I am guilty party in the shameless waste of life's extra moments, of undirected talent and enthusiasm, of misdirected energies.

A recent bit of personal epiphany led me to opening up a blog, as it became increasingly evident that I needed to do the one thing I was genetically destined for: writing.

So here we are.

Tune in every so often. I'll do my darndest to make it worth a few minutes of your net-time.
