It All Seemed To Be An Academic Exercise

So begins a new blog for me. I've done this before, writing in a blog and propelling the thoughts (whatever their quality) into the void of the internet. Perhaps you've done this before as well, reading the commentary and inquisitions of one whose thoughts may belong within his own head instead of on the screen.

Usually the introductory post of a blog entails some sort of biographical segment, a retelling of who it is that well be propelling their thoughts and the events of their life onto the screen of the reader. This introductory post will however, not have any of that sort. Rather this post will offer a short summary of the intended content of this blog.

It is the intent of myself, the author, not to blather on with these sort of overly formulated sentences that no-one really cares to read, but instead to write as I think. So, I offer you far warning that the Jacksonian Contemplations you will encounter in the future may be confusing at best and schizophrenic at worst. I realize that I have another blog and that its contents are largely filtered (certain people have access to read certain types of posts). This blog intends to be different from that blog insofar as, aside from the 'hiddenness' of its url, it will remain public. Comments and questions, dialogue and even insult is welcome. Because of its public nature, I recognize that I will have to maintain a more censored vocabulary. I will endeavor to do so, knowing that when I find myself enthralled in the contemplation of various topics, I usually lose track of my tongue (or fingers, as the case may be).

So, the sort of contemplation within this blog remains open to the fickleness of history and the unexpected interaction of peoples, communities, events, etc. with myself and/or those I love. It'll be a mysterious organic surprise in that way. I hope it works alright and I hope you stick around.
