General Purpose

Readers,

I have tried to write several times now why I am starting this blog.  However, each time that I try to come up with a good explanation I realize that I am falling very short of truely expressing my opinions.  Ironically, this is the best reason for me to start blogging.  Clear writing usually reflects clear thinking and I do not have much experience writing clearly or concisely. 

Here are my goals for this blog:
1. Self-improvement. I expect to be entering a business/professional type of environement in the coming years and need to learn to write concisely and clearly. This is something I do not do well.
2. Self-reflection. I usually see multiple sides of issues and have trouble figuring out my opinions. By writing down my thoughts I hope that I will be able to clarify what I believe. 
3. Enterainment. Maybe someone out there will find this funny, interesting, insightful, etc. I will try to be entertaining, but that is not necessarily the goal.
4. Consistency. I will try to add to this once a week.

- Jon
