First Blog

I have never blogged before. However, I enjoy writing and on occassion have thoughts that I would like to share with other people. Therefore, I am now officially a blogger. If you are checking this out because you were surfing the web and happened to find this sight, or if I have invited you to look at my blog, the I want to tell you what to expect here.



You can expect some political commentary. On occasion I may even rant and rave about politics. I am particularly disgusted by American politics at the moment and so these rants and raves may reflect that. I am also a firm believer in media bias and on occasion feel like throwing things at the telivision because of this bias. I believe there is not such thing as fair and balanced reporting anymore, so the media should simply own up to thier biases, whether conservative or liberal and then move on. I believe this bias is shown in many small ways as well as large ways.



I try to keep up with current events, although I will sometimes go several weeks without listening to the news. I prefer to watch the news to most other television shows, although I love CSI and CSI New York. I am not overly fond of CSI: Miami, simply because I do not really like that main actor on it. CSI: New York is my favorite. I may occasionally comment on a television show that I have seen, but not much, there are much more important things to discuss.



I will also comment on theology. My relationship with God is very important to me, I am a Christian and I think writing down some of my thoughts and beliefs and sharing and receiving feed back is fun. If you do not want to hear these, this is not the Blog for you. My particular interests write now is practical pastoral theology. I have little time for useless theory and intellectualism. Quite frankly, I think much of pastoral theology is an exercise in the psychological defense mechanism of intellectualism. If we can intellectualize it away, then we do not have to actually deal with the issues. You will read more on this in the future.

I also like video games and may occassionally speak of these.

I also write and have several ideas for novels going around in my head. I may write some of these out and put them on my blog. I also enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy and may write about some of the books I read.

What you will not find on this blog is deep personal stories or feelings. Neither will you find sexually explicit material, so for all of you voyuers out there, this blog is not for you. You will find personal opinions and rambling. If you are interested in that then stay tuned and you will enjoy this blog.

Also, I am taking a trip to Alaska tomorrow and I may or may not write some things about that.
