The Beginning of... This

I could simply sit here and dump my entire life story, but let's skip all that. It's not what this site is for... it's really for me. I have a ton of interests, thoughts, and introspections that float through my brain. I guess maybe I think too much and don't really have an outlet to release and get rid of the word and process dump that is my brain sometimes.

I guess if you were looking for an explainer of "what kind of thing is this and what can I find" - I'll give you something. Here's a quick list of my "skills" and interests if you want to call them that -

  • I am a Christian, so I do a healthy amount of Bible reading and research.
  • I love metal music - it just hits something that other genres don't come close. Doesn't mean I don't listen to other genres, but metal is what I am always returning to.
    • I also create music - I play guitar, bass, drums, and I do vocals (not quite a "singer"). I am also dabbling in mixing/mastering. Everything is self-taught.
  • I work in tech, and I've worked in many tech sectors. I've struggled for over 12 years from being entry level, management, director, and everything in between.
  • I love to write. Just in general. I guess you could say I have a great appreciation for how words are used, why, and how they make us feel.
  • More broad, but I love to be introspective and analytical, by choice (most of the time). Let's just say that I think too much... way too much!
  • Other minor hobbies include - wood burning, art, hot wheel mods, console gaming, and organizing things (I've had many more, I just collect hobbies practically).

As with anyone posting things online, you might assume that I might be here to make a bunch of money and have some grand scheme to monetize and "break free from the 9-5" or something... I don't. If that happens, cool, but that's not why I am doing this. It's literally just a way for me to dump all these dang thoughts and stuff somewhere. My hope is eventually that folks will connect to something here and maybe learn a few things. Heck, if I can just make your wheels spin or challenge an age old thought process you have, I'll be happy. I am happy just writing, even if I don't get any views besides my friends and family.

If you aren't one of those close to me though, you might ask - "what does this have to offer me?" My honest answer; I really don't know. I have no plan on what to include here. That list of interests there, if you like any of that, then maybe you'll find something here. I've also faced quite the amount of adversity in my life, so even with a lot of these areas, I am sure I'll have some posts about stuff that might help on specific situations. No, I am not rags to riches or anything. I am just a middle class American struggling in the weeds with everyone else.

This is, however my very first post, so give me some time to put some stuff on here! Gosh, impatient. Kidding. Wish me luck that I will keep doing this!
