Out of the Blue

So I made this blog all the way back in 2011. Well, no, that's not entirely true. I laid the foundations for it back then, but didn't write a single post. I've always had a lot to say, but never managed to conceptualize it in a way that I could pack it a lunchbox and send it sailing out into the great dark internet, like some sort of mentor figure sending a hero on his quest for honor. Four lines in, and I'm already rambling. I don't know who'll read this. No one might. All in all though, I think just writing it down and logging it might be more substantial than just letting my thoughts sublimate into brain noise.

Part of the reason I was initially reluctant to post was that feeling, that dark shadow that hunches over in everyone's brain, telling them 'Why? What makes you special? Why do your words deserve to be listened to?' It's inside everyone. The triumph of humanity is that we don't always listen to that voice, and the outcome may be better or worse. But the outcome will always be different than if we'd never tried at all. It took me a long time to realize that, and three years later, I think I'm ready to strike out, sword-pen in my hand and wits in my head.

This blog will contain a variety of posts. Some might be incredibly pretentious musings on human nature or the vast capacity of the mind to perceive, and other such philosophical drivel. Others might be pertaining to certain musical tracks and thoughts they evoke (I like to visualize music videos to some songs that I feel fit the music, or a scene that the tune evokes). There may be short literature pieces, or poems, or examinations on facets of the city-state I live and work in, which could be a whole blog by itself, and is most likely covered in depth in other, more established blogs. But most of all, I'll be trying to process the prismatic tornado of my brain and personality into some sort of concrete parcel, much easier unpacked and examined than the current wisps of wait-no-i-forgot-damn-hey-what-about-this system I currently have.
