In the Beginning

In the beginning was a blog. The blog was irrelevant to important matters of daily life. In fact, it was irrelevant to any matters, important or not. The blog was simply a smattering of random ideas, haphazard thoughts, and a myriad of musings. The author of the blog believed this to be appropriate since that was the way her mind was organized.

This blog will be similar to the revolving tie rack I bought my father for Christmas one year. (Hey, at least I didn't give him a tie.) It had approximated 24 little hangers for ties. Only four of the ties were at the front at any given time. The tie rack had a little button that, when pushed, would rotate the little hangers around and present a new set of ties for the viewing pleasure of the button pusher. However, as time went on, the same four ties found themselves constantly at the front of the rack. They would be worn regularly for long periods of time. Just when the other ties began to believe they would never see the light, the owner would suddenly remember their existence. The four favorites were pushed to the back, and a new set of favorites appeared. I believe this blog will be arranged in a similar way. I have a tendency to get hold of an idea (or four) and keep them at the front for long periods of time. Eventually I tire of them, and bring a new set to the forefront.

I don't intend to tell anyone about this blog until I determine whether I will actually keep it up. I have a tendency to begin, but never end, a project. Perhaps I will never tell anyone. I am not about to assume that this blog would be interesting to anyone. However, if you choose to read it, be prepared for utter randomness. There is no game plan, but then, what would be the fun in that?
