Why am I doing this?

An imagination is a terrible thing.  A really good imagination is even worse. 

Imaginations are like gardens, they overflow with blossoms both strange and wonderous.  They are a constant joy to visit, to stroll through the lanes of, taking one's time, relaxing, perhaps taking snapshots of the more interesting bits.  Unfortunately, imaginations also require constant care, constant input, constant tending and fussing and endless amounts of maintenance.  And if such is lacking, then one ends up with a wasteland full of twisted, festering nastiness.

So, in answer to the question I posed above, I am doing this to blow off steam, to give myself a forum from which to spout off on all the topics that annoy, interest, or just plain confuse me.  My format will be simple.  Every week I will post 10 times.  7 of these will be parts of a novel, posted sequentially because I cannot draw a webcomic.  The other 3 will be more esoteric: 1 on philosophy, politics, or religion; 1 on Pop Culture, where I will talk about the best TV Show, Movie, Comicbook, and or Video Game I enjoyed that week; and 1 on small writings, blurbs, fragments, and even encyclopedia entries from my massive store of useless facts about the word in which I spend so very much of my time.

I will not be talking about the weather.  I will not be talking about music, usually.  I will not be talking about my latest relationship, my recipe of the day, or my real job, assuming I manage to keep it for more than a month or so.  But above all, I will not be consistant.  As a wise, but strange, man once said, "Consistancy is the hobgoblin of little minds."  So I will strive to be reliable, strive to be innovative, and strive to entertain, educate, and enlighten... but I won't appologize for my beliefs, my verbiage, or for missing a day or two every now and again.

I hope you enjoy this at least as much as I do.
