Returning to the Blogwaves.

It's about time I return to this wandering blog and write a post that is more than just a re-post of some media piece, sound bite or video clip that had ticked me off at the moment I viewed it. The direction of this blog has meandered back and forth between a personal blog and a social/political/current events soap box. I still hope to maintain elements of both styles but have a feeling that in the coming months, more will be written from the social/political/current events angle.

There is too much going on right now that I am fascinated with. I have spent the past 10 years or so trying to figure out what it is that I believe in. It is only now that I have truly been able to stand behind my beliefs upon a strong foundation while still maintaining an open mind towards others opinions. In the words of Kant, "Although I am absolutely convinced of many things that I shall never have the courage to say, I shall never say anything I do not believe." I have the courage now to say only what I believe.

Now this is not to say that my beliefs and opinions will remain unchanged from here on out. While having discourse with others of varying opinions and continually reading and absorbing as much knowledge as possible, opinions and views of the world and are bound to change over time! But... I will never say anything on this forum or others that I do not firmly believe. It has taken me quite some time to get to that point.

You lead with your strong suit... right? :-)
