Welcome!
This blog is not my first, and yet will be something of an experiment for me.
I have a tendency to over-think and over-analyze things, which generally makes simple tasks (like blog posting) into laborious 2+ hour projects. Instead of making this blog a compendium of finished, scholarly works, I hope it will simply be an arena in which I can write through my ideas. Most often I've used writing as a means of delivering a (more-or-less) complete idea that I’ve allowed to gestate in my mind for some time. But I seldom use writing as a means of thinking: of forming and structuring my thought. I want to think better, so why should I be afraid of writing down my embryonic ideas and sharing them in utero? So to completely overextend the metaphor, welcome to the womb of my mind, I guess.
In order to help me to loosen up and write more freely, I’ll take the Aristotelian approach and aim at the opposite extreme of scholarship: writing shorter, less-organized posts. Hopefully, with time, the writing will get easier and my thoughts will become clearer.
Topically, the blog will be about culture, humanity, life, and religiosity. Anything that piques your author’s interest is fair game. From psychology to mycology; theology to geology; ontology to…brontology.
“But Greg,” you inquire, “will you talk about food? I love food.”
I subsequently rub my belly, nod approvingly, and add: “Astronomy to gastronomy.”
You’re in for a wild ride, folks. But welcome, all the same.
