This is the first entry of my online journal.

I suppose I should say something profound, like, "Hello, World!" or some such nonsense. But I have no idea if anybody will actually read this or not, so it would probably be more accurate to say something along the lines of, "Hello, Server!" If anybody else actually is reading this, you'll forgive me for not greeting you personally.

I won't take the time here to introduce myself. If you want my stats, you should have read my introductory page, so back and do it now. (Don't pass "Go" or collect $200 on your way, either.) Besides, this journal is to be a collection of my daily musings, and I rarely if ever muse about my age or marital status, as such.

What I am currently musing about is why I think my life is interesting enough to display to the world (and my server). Certainly, I don't intend to strive for the levels of charisma maintained by sites such as "Jenny's CD Collection!!!" or "What's in my desk drawer?" I know I can't compete with the likes of "Dave's Page of Useless Lists" (yes, it really exists). Why even try?

I've been reading some online journals for some time now, and I've found myself strangely fascinated by the inner workings of people I've never actually met. Perhaps it's the voyeur in me, but I've actually become addicted to booting up my computer and reading the latest news in the lives of complete strangers. After a time of silently watching, I began to wonder what it was like to bare one's soul to the world (and one's server), nothing to hide.

So, in the interest of scientific experimentation, I'll do my best to hide nothing, keeping totally honest, uncringing from the eternal eyes.
