Free the mind, but don't mind the beast.

It would appear that you have been unfortunate enough to find your way to my little slice of the web. Don't worry too much, you're likely in good company. If not, just try to enjoy the ride as I'll be covering a number of topics. Some may be offensive, but all are worthy of discussion.

Before I dive into the purpose of this blog, I'll bombard you with some pertinent information about myself. I am a contradiction. I am a hypocrite. I am flawed. I am human. Hard to believe, eh? I unfortunately spent the vast majority of my life trying to find meaning. No surprise. The kicker is that I've always known what was holding me back, but I truly feared making the leap required to find my meaning: the desire to attain normality. I have a ton of excuses and people to blame to justify my attempts to attain normality, but it was my own twisted psyche that allowed this sickness to pervade my very existence for so long. The past three years have been an eye opening experience and, slowly, I have begun to fall into my own. The journey has just begun, but I am certain it will be quite entertaining.

Now for the purpose of this blog. I will be exploring humanity. I will attempt to find myself, study others, study culture both locally and at greater levels, and I may even blog about things that appear completely random. The content is not something I'm concerned with at this point, it's the message. I hope to bring to you a perspective that will open your mind and make you question the world around you. I encourage your participation in this endeavor as you are as much a part of this as I. Drop a comment, send me an email, or hit me up on Facebook and/or Twitter.

I intend to attend several events around the state and beyond for the purpose of providing content that may be relevant to your interests, as well as an opportunity for a little self discovery. If something strikes you as appropriate for this blog, drop me a line and I'll see if it's something I could put my own spin on for your viewing pleasure.

Welcome to the realm of the Maniacal Jester.
