The Very First Post

Well, before I came up with a name for this blog I totally knew what I was going to write for this first post, now that I'm actually here, I'm struggling.  Go figure.  Did you read the name?  

Who am I?  Nobody special, just some guy who has an opinion on almost everything.  Who doesn't right?  I like to write things out, it seems that I communicate better that way.  My hope is that this will be a place where I can offload some of the hundreds of things I think about on a daily basis.  Some will be interesting, some won't.  I'm 100% certain that some of the things I will likely write about and my stance or opinion on them will make some people angry.

For the last decade or so I've been working in the IT field, while it is very good work and pays extremely well, I find myself struggling to remain focused in my work.  It is also very difficult to remain interested in the copious amount of training and studying that must be done to stay relevant in this field.  All of that to say that my hope is this shotgun approach to offloading things that happen inside my cranial cavity will help me to see where I should focus the bulk of my energy in regard to my path forward.  Maybe I'll find that I gravitate toward politics, maybe homesteading, theology, history, entertainment, law and so on.  Perhaps writing will create a recognizable pattern that I can then use to regain focus in my career and make a change if necessary.  You're fully welcome to come along for the ride, that is all.
