“hello world” . . . Belated beginnings.

“hello world”; an interesting – and quite fitting – default blog entry title for all new accounts on this hosting site. It becomes the salutation on my first weblog entry available to the public and brings back mixed memories of my past computer programming courses.

My intent for this blog is to post my thoughts, rants, and musings on my world . . . and anything else I deem fit at the time. If discussions of all things political, technological, religious, educational, military, musical, or entertainment-oriented are not to your liking – stop right here and hit your bookmark to enlightening websites like “basket-weaving-extravaganza.com” or “the_hermit_experience.net”.

I will attempt to post thoughtful points on current issues but will not promise hugely enlightening epiphanies for those who spend time here. My political, religious, nationalistic views – or lack thereof – will become apparent as I post here.

Your comments, rants, approvals, and/or disapprovals are welcome if you care to post them. I have only a couple of requests for you if you leave a comment: (1) keep the profanity to a PG-13 rating or lower (I heard quite enough in the Army) and (2) if you disagree with me, tell me why I’m wrong and you are right – don’t just berate me. If I deem your comments to warrant a reply, I’ll attempt to address your issue in a future post.

Consider yourself invited . . . and warned.
