Something New

I'm a bit of an odd duck. I told myself for years I would never get into blogging. Similarly I once said I'd never have a cell phone. After all, if I wanted to talk to someone I'd give them a call thank you very much. The last thing I wanted was people being able to track me down and bother me at any random time. Yet now I have a nice little pocket vibrator with music, camera, and options I don't even know how to use. It sure looked neat when I upgraded though and it was really cool to have...until the next generation phone came out that Christmas.

But I've wandered off topic as I usually do. Here I am with a blog of my own (how I wish I could insert drums and symbols and fireworks here) but not for any good reason. I'm not out to change the world. I don't care if I inspire you. I'm a private person and I like it that way.

And yet secretly I think we all want to change the world if just a little. And everyone wants to be inspiring. It's good for the ego. And here I am talking to anyone who cares to read.

I've always felt we are all little more than the sum of our contradictions. I'm highly educated, I love science, math, art, literature, history, engineering, music, theatre, and good beer. I also like fart jokes and laugh at the word weiner. In fact, I chuckled just writing it down.

Whyam I talking about contradictions? Because the name of my domain is cynicism and hope. Contradictions. Yet we need them both to survive in life and retain any sanity. It doesn't seem logical I know, but if you abandon the logic of Aristotile you might just learn the truth about the planets and the sun.

Note: if you're not sure what I meant there at the end, type Ptolemy & planets into Google. I imagine Wiki will explain it quite well.
