Most web sites have an “About” section. Though I am one of many non-conformist bloggers, I will have one, too. It’s good for people to know why I write.

I hope against hope that my words will be self-sufficient and that explaining myself and my purpose would not be a means for me to make apologies for my lack of … fill in the blank. However, it would be vain to think that I have that kind of grasp on the English language, let alone that kind of grasp on my own thoughts.

So what is this about? What would possess an engineering student with no particularly great hold on life to choose writing to the internet abyss as the hobby to add on to his schedule?

I thought I’d answer cleverly via letterplay, changing “About” to “A Bout.” This blog is to address a temporary ailment. That ailment might be described as immaturity or ignorance concerning my own qualities and philosophy. I’m hoping that by laying myself out there, I’ll have a diagnosis of my strengths and weaknesses and the remedies found.

Honesty is the best medicine.

I had a blog, once upon a time, that I was proud of. However, I realized that it was a place for me to show off - a symptom of my false view of myself. Case in point, I devoted the entire blog to spiritual matters - as if I were, too. My relationship with Jesus Christ is the solid ground I stand on and His Gospel my purpose on this earth, but my orbit around my faith is wide.

If I stay honest, then the glory I give to God in my heart will be reflected here: not a photon more, not a photon less.

Besides that, I do hope to make people think and laugh.

I’d tell you what to expect, if I could. Ask me a question if you dare.
