Naked Logic

I found out somebody else I knew had a blog. It's weird. It seems like since I've started, I've been more hypersensitive to any news pertaining to blogs. Seeing as Mormons are commanded to keep a record of their life, I don't think that I should be surprised at all the people I've discovered with blogs.

I'm pretty certain that I'm keeping this blog for that same reason. I haven't looked back in so long. But I think thats mostly because there hasn't been anything behind me that I've wanted to see. Like touring an orphanage; nothing to see there.

Ok, while that may have been a little brutal, I think its not that unreasonable to compare my past to an orphanage.

A lot of the blogs that I've seen have been pretty superficial, a point that I'll desperately try not to digress to. I want to keep a record of what was going on through my head at this point in time, for each post that I do. I want to look back and see the person speaking to the reader in the future. I am writing to myself.  This is who this blog is for.

I never was one to keep a journal. growing up, I was always encouraged to do so, but I was too paranoid to try. I've always believed that my mind was the only safe sanctuary I have, so why risk the security of my thoughts, if I could simply reflect on them in my own head?

Either way, I never was the sentimental type. Thats something I quickly discovered about myself. I don't own very many possessions. I usually notice different types of people, and one of the ways I categorize them is by past, present and future. I know people who live in the past, and people who only concern themselves with the present. me, I think the best type of people are the ones who are grounded in the present and look towards the future.

So while I never did write down my thoughts, I've always wanted to. I believe expressing ones self is naturally therapeutic. The thing about doing this though, is that that I'll inevitably look back and roll my eyes at everything I've posted.
