Here it is, folks!

Yes, yes, I'm making a blog. After probably over a year's absence from the "blogosphere" I'm entering the atmosphere hot, full with a screaming coming across the sky. Both Them and I thought I was gone for good, but looking back we all should have known better. It was all inevitable, and maybe (but hopefully not) predetermined. Certainly foreseeable.

I came back for a few reasons, first and foremost of which is I discovered I still enjoyed blogging after some experience on facebook with a series of philosophical notes. A second is that I've been musing with this idea a long time. I want to expand my blogging experience to more topics, more ideas, etc. I'm more or less doing the opposite thing as my good friend, and author of The Xiphoidian (Darin), I am reserving my facebook notes for the philosophical notes mostly, and posting more types here, with topics which will repeat (and some which will have no topic). (Do not misunderstand, this will also contain those notes; I will post them in both places simultaneously.) This could be said to be a major reason for this blog, to post on more things, here. This blog will be an outlet for my thoughts. It will be mostly just various thoughts of mine, on topics which I find interesting. You, my friends, know that is not a small number of topics. Another purpose is to expand this beyond "the facebook community" if you will, a greater audience by number. Facebook is also somewhat deficient, it does not allow for long responses, which good thought occasionally requires.

I invite you to comment on all notes which you wish to comment on. Argue. Insult me, if you must! (Though I may still your tongue (keyboard? (Nested parentheses?)) by moderation abilities, I'll try to restrain myself.) Suggestions for the blog itself are welcome. Anything I should add? Change template? Shall I repost my facebook notes?

Bonus points if you caught the obscure reference in my first paragraph here.
