Pieces to a Puzzle

I have surprised myself in creating a blog. I thought I'd be the last person on Earth to set up my own webpage that revolves solely around me. Perhaps I am. Don't get me wrong, blogs are fine, they just aren't me.

So, let's go over what to expect. Did you ever watch "The Perfect Man" with Hillary Duff. Don't. It's not necessary. But in the film Hillary Duff has to keep moving around and is having a hard time making friends, and all that good cliche stuff. She also happens to write on her blog almost every single day. It's like she doesn't have anyone in her life to understand her, so she sends daily shipments of herself off into cyber-space. She hopes someone somewhere is reading everything and putting each piece together to form the person she is. She is then understood.

No. I don't expect to be understood. People are too complex for surface level blogs to define them. Sure, every post will be a small part of me, because I wrote it. And maybe one day, (if I happen to keep up with this blog long enough...) there will be enough pieces out there for someone to construct some completed, mini puzzle of me, but it could only ever be 2D.

So, if you happen to care enough to read anymore of anything I happen to say, don't expect the average blog here. I honestly don't know how it will result, and I trust that I too will find I'm surprising even myself. I just plan to write. (And I'm totally doing this for me, by the way. I've been out of the writing flow for awhile now, and wish to change that.) Who knows what will show up here. For all I know this could be the one and only post I ever ship off into the vast void of cyber-space. I guess we'll both have to wait and see.
