Cast No Shadow

"Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand what's in his hands. Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say and as he faced the sun he cast no shadow."

Ah so I've entered the realm of blogging and thus committed myself to the pressure of trying to come up with witty and insightful comments about life, the universe, and everthing after (apologies to Douglas Adams). Blogging appears much like acting, writing, painting, or any other form of art - superficially easy on the surface but it actually takes quite a bit of talent to be properly done.

Girls keep diaries and sensitive guys keep journals I suppose. I kept one once in college, and I still have it in fact. It mostly contains ramblings and some badly written poems written during times of stress or love-ridden angst. After seeing or hearing about various people who ended up in trouble or rehab after their parents read their journals, I realized one should never write anything that you would not want broadcast to the rest of the world. Hopefully I will keep you entertained and keep myself out of trouble.
