A New Personal Blog

Blogging, Again?

So, a few months ago I started a personal blog and had a pretty steady readership. I really enjoyed it but I started to slack a bit and focus more on my business during the beginning of the recession. I started writing a lot for my business blog and a lot for twitter instead of focusing on personal writings. A few people told me I should get back to writing because they enjoyed my blog. I held out for a while until I could stabilize the business a bit and focus on some personal tasks (including setting up this blog). I really wanted to go at it full-force if I was going to do it. I wanted to design my own look and feel, write about things I cared about and write frequenty. I feel that my life is interesting enough and that I gather a ton of valuable information from day to day that I can share with the world.

Why Should You Read?

Further I’m a pretty interesting person. I got my first buisness license at 16, was emancipated from my parents at 17 and had my first job as a programmer when I was 17. I am in an interracial relationship with a black woman (which is worth mentioning because the cultural clash does make my life interesting sometimes). I have a 2 year old son with her and we live together. I am a pretty decent poet, a good programmer, an innovater, creative and an eternal optimist. Politically I’m in the middle but I lean conservative on financial issues and liberal on social issues. I have a pretty good knowledge of the history of this country, I love to travel and do it whenever I can and I’m have a tendancy to just be spontanious.

For all of you that love a good car wreck I can be a complete mess sometimes. I give great advice but don’t follow it myself which makes me look like a hipocrit but I learn quickly. I can be an insentitive, stubborn, arrogant prick. However, it makes for a good read. I’ve been doing two things from a very young age:


  1. Playing with computers.

  2. Writing

I’m a little self-absorbed sometimes too, which makes this a perfect platform for me. Maybe I didn’t get enough attention as a child or not enough from the right people. Eh… who knows? At least I’m interesting.

Where Is This Going?

Yeah, so, I don’t really know. I’m gonna write about whatever I feel I want to. I’m not going to pull many punches about what I write. If transparency is a flaw I guess I can call myself that too. I hope this goes to a point where I at least have an audience for my creation. If not, at least this will be an interesting read to my children one day.  A good record of who I was and why. If nothing, people should blog for that.
