Setting the Tone

This is my attempt... again, my attempt... again, my attempt...

I have been trying to erect the foundation of a public presence for a long time. I thought about being open and all that, about using my real name and location, but my paranoia kicked in.

You will learn that as strong suits go, paranoia is one of mine. Presuming, that is, that you stick around to read my rants writings.

To be fair to myself (because we are rarely fare to ourselves), what many might mistake for paranoia may actually be a healthy sense of what's really real; a piercing vision into the fabric of reality.

This is what I hope my blog will be. This piercing vision thing...

I fancy myself a philosopher and a writer, but I'm really just a young professional with too many pointless graduate degrees. Still, I will attempt to live up to my historical ancestors of choice (the philosophers and writers and artists and mathematicians and historians, etc...) to some degree with what I do here, as well as what I do elsewhere.

I am a filthy ape, but I'm trying to get clean. I really am.
