I decided to create this website for a couple reasons. First, I wanted a “sandbox” to try out features for a website for my theater group – M.A.S.S. Media Productions. I would much rather make my mistakes on my own website than an official site for an organization. Second, I enjoy Journaling. Many years ago, my therapist recommended I start journaling as a form of mindfulness. I use it to track my ups and downs and see if I find any repeat occurences that may be triggers. I eventually even began using it as a bit of a diary.
After a few years, I began reading a lot of different blogs and listening to many podcasts. I decided I would try my hand at blogging. I may find that I am profoundly uninteresting and this little experiment may quickly wilt on the vine. Then again, I may find that I do enjoy it and by some miracle a couple other folks may enjoy reading it as well. I have no expectation to become popular or “an influencer.”
What kinds of things do I expect to discuss in the future? I think the range of topics may give you verbal whiplash occasionally. Like many folks my age, my (self-diagnosed) A.D.D. will most likely result in some weird stream of consciousness entries. Who knows.
Topics that are likely to be discussed will be my family, my physical health, my mental health, woodworking, theater and more. I will do my best to use the WordPress’ “Categories” feature as much as possible, so you can easily skip anything you are uninterested in.
You never know, I may even coerce my wife or kids to guest star and blog. Maybe others as well! We’ll have to see!
