cur?

So why am I doing a blog? I have always been known to be more of a “thinker” than a “doer”, and every so often I come across things that for whatever reason seem to really interest me. I know a lot of people have blogs that show what's going on in their daily life, but I think I'll focus more on what is going on in my head in my daily life. I have never really had the motivation to sit down and read books (I think I have read maybe 2 non-children’s books in the last 12 or so years), but have always been interesting in expanding my knowledge. One of the great things about the internet is that it has been able to accommodate both my hatred for books and my desire to learn. The internet is a great place to find knowledge and express feelings and opinions on anything you choose….and it seems to me like a blog is the most appropriate place to do such. Other online social media outlets don’t quite seem to apply. So after reading a few blogs made by some people I know, I was inspired to start one of my own.
Often times the things I find most interesting to discuss are also the most controversial and tend to get emotions going. That is what makes it difficult to discuss these topics. I feel like a lot of people have certain beliefs and opinions and there is nothing you can do to make that person change their mind. A person forms an opinion on a subject as soon as it is mentioned and for some reason little to no thought goes into the basis for that opinion. Once a subject is investigated further, often that opinion can change. Hopefully I will be able to learn more from the responses of others. I will try my best to have a wide variety of topics on here so that there is at least something interesting for everyone. My goal is to have at least one new post per week for the rest of this year (depending on if anyone is interested in this). I encourage open-minded thinking regardless of personal opinions and will do my best to do the same.
