the beginning

And so it begins, my writing has started up again, but this time on a new medium.

I'm by no means an accomplished writer, and I'm really not an accomplished anything. I feel as though my thoughts are a little too scattered to mean anything of importance or even engage readers or followers. That's not what this is about. It's really not even about me, even though it's called a 'personal muse.'

I find myself often thinking heavily in the day, but never putting the thoughts on paper. I'm weary of putting this on paper because a. ill lose it, b. it will catch fire and c. I want to constantly and consistently update this throughout the day. I want this blog to be a steady stream of thought. I don't want followers, subscribers, critics or anything of the sort. I want my identity sealed because I may say things on here that my peers would be confused by. So maybe this is a risk that I'm even putting this on the web, but judging by the way technology is going, everything including our subconscious will eventually end up here.

Typically, the thoughts that I wish I had started to write about sooner are my thoughts on religion, technology, the human race, socialism, faith, doubt, meaning and purpose. Sometimes, I think these thoughts so many times in the day that I can honestly say it changes my mood. Maybe this blog will become some sort of muse for me... allowing me to write out what I'm thinking, so that I can see the thoughts in a physical form, as opposed to a 'web' of linked thoughts that have no real beginning or end.

I hope that I give honest, mature and thought provoking ideas and comments on here. I want to be able to go back to this years from now and see the ideas that I had, but I never wrote down. I hope the server(s) this is stored on stays safe, and if there is a nuclear war, that these writings won't be in the country that is hit first. I don't want this blog to be silly, and I don't want it to be serious. I want 1 word entries and I want a novel of a blog. I don't want to waste time editing(to a small extent for the sake of my years of schooling in grammar), because really the web only sees rough drafts and never, ever polished works of literature these days.

My first thought is: I have noticed my handwriting has been slowly declining since the infusion of my fingers with keyboards. I wonder if anyone else is feeling the same way? Will hand writing become obsolete in the next 20 years?
