Very Quick Introduction and Statement of Purpose

  I am starting this new blog because, though I have had several sites for many years, I rarely write anything and when I do it seems to be too negative to share with those who know me or who I have befriended. My other blogs are linked to my facebook, which thus may be a good thing as they are not entirely full of moroseness and as I suggest, this is the tone of much of what I privately write, when I do.

 This blog will be semi-anonymous. Partly, I want to encourage myself to write. Partly I want to talk freely about life-conditions that I do not necessarily want to burden others with. Hopefully the tone will not be overly dark all the time nor will it be excessively self-indulgent. It may be a little unprofessional, as I intend on posting feelings and thoughts verbatim and I will not go back to edit my input. 

  I was planning on titling it something about misplaced youth, mislaid intentions or even misfortune, but have decided to leave it wryly suggestive that maybe some condition of the sort exists. My life has followed, as I’m sure have many, a twisted circuitous route, with many dead-ends and incomplete passages. This has been the pattern, in particular, through my adult middle-aged years. I can’t begin to really describe the messy and unfortunate complications just yet. I wish I could claim more bright and happy about myself, but I cannot. This too is not sounding uncommon, but I sometimes think that if I’d left things alone when I was young, though I was reclusive and not well-oriented, things might have gone better or perhaps, more accurately,  later when I was in early middle-age, when I’d pulled myself out of my depression to some degree, I’d settled for my small improvements I’d have more fond memories. As it is, though I’ve proven what could have been, it has paradoxically been at the expense of what could have been.

  Anyhow, that will be it for today. I want to write include diary-style entries as well, but I will leave that for future entries. 

  Cheers from somewhere in the Canadian mid-west to whomever cares about this (if nobody does that’s fine too).
