Well, this is the first post. What is appropriate for a first post? Perhaps it would some sort of mission statement of what this blog is going to be about or explore. Or maybe it should explain what led to its creation. In any case, I think that I place too much significance on the ‘first’s of anything. This inflated sense of significance calls for a higher level of perfection and it is there that I screw up. I know that anything that I attempt will be less than perfect, and instead of being mature and accepting that as part of the process of creation, I defer to fear and decide to prefer that the object of perfection continues to live on untarnished in that Platonic plane of ideal forms.
The enemy here is that concept of ‘the best.’ I like to pretend that I can learn from my past mistakes. So here it is, my first post in its refreshingly, for me at least, imperfect form.

I’m glad that I got that over with.
