tabula rasa

New beginnings have a way of reminding you of the previous several attempts to make one. Hopefully this will not end up as just another beginning. I can't say I know for certain how I'm going to do this, but this time the need for fruition will hopefully drive this effort to write...or post as the case may be.

The intent for now is to post whenever something strikes the mind. Random thoughts can appear to be brilliant when you have then, but if un-recorded tend to fade away like the dreams we all have had, dreams that linger on for the first few minutes of your morning, then just vanish as if never there. So, the next time I have a thought interesting enough to make me think, I hope to jot it down here. The thought will not be governed by its uniqueness, in fact it will probably reflect something seen or heard in a normal mundane day. The difference - I hope - will be in the expression of the perceived event or occurrence. Like every film director worth his salt, the 'treatment' will be different.

I'm tempted to say that this blog is about nothing, but I'm no Seinfeld. So I'll just say that this is my humble attempt to capture the thoughts of an average, ordinary person, in a way that I hope will make them readable.

wish me luck..
