What It’s All About

I’m so very tired.  Tired of loudness, of the shrieking stupidity, of being clobbered over and over by absolutes.  I’m tired of people talking without saying anything.  I’m tired of feeling grossly underrepresented in most facets of life.  I’m tired of pettiness and bickering. I’m tired of my opinion being made invalid by someone with a megaphone.  I’m tired of being so damn tired.

I made this site because, well, I feel like saying something.  I feel like writing something.  I feel as if my words warrant review.  Some of the posts on here will be creative stuff, some of it will be opinion, some of it will be inexplicable.  I’m planning a few sections, a few different directions, but I’m unsure how it’ll turn out.

For now, I’m going to call this site an excuse.  An excuse to make myself write, an excuse to get myself riled and passionate, an excuse to try to be funny or thought-provoking or moving or whatever else.  It’s an excuse to hear what people think about what I have to say.  It’s an excuse to do something; anything to help ward off the aggressive apathy which infects me and everyone I know.

All I can say, at this very moment, is:  Thanks for reading, and more than that, thank you for your Validation.
