Good question. What does one do after creating a blog? Well... it's obvious: post. So this is what I'm going to do.
I feel I should tell something more about me and the blog I created. No, better yet: I'll tell something about the blog. I will leave to the reader to picture me from what I post. After all: one is what one posts.
I will write about anything that comes my way and seems important to me. Stuff I read about, stuff that pops up in conversations or in quite contemplation.
I will try to be original, and look at various issues in a novel way. This is what I'm good at - I percieve the world a bit different than everyone else. It would seem I always doubt things that everyone sees as resolved and definite. I will not assume the "never mind" attitude - finding answers that suit ourselves rather than accepting the usual explanation is important to me.
I could lapse into a lengthy philosophical discussion about free will and the right to one's own ideas about the world, but I won't. I believe you've got the point.
Will there be enough material to write about? I believe so. Almost everyday I experience something that sets my alarms of; I ask myself these two important questions quite often: "why so?" and "who says that?".
Will this blog stand the test of time? This is a very legitimate question. I already had a blog which I abandoned a few years ago. All I can say is: We'll see. I will give it my best.
Where's the point of writing a blog? Another very legitimate question. Here I will qoute a good friend of mine: "there are more blogs written that read". So why add another bunch of zeros and ones to the already full ether of blogs? This question is important; the answer will probably be the motive for me not to stop posting. Sometimes I feel the urge to write my thoughts down; I feel a concept is much more defined and concrete when being presented in a written form - look at it as a complex equation: there is no way you can compute it in your head; but when you write it down it seems simplicity itself.
This, I feel must be the purpose of all blogs - defining. Defining and sharing. Writing down ones thoughts gives them a more real, existential quality. Sharing - with others, those who read the blogs. Sharing thoughts is important. A worldview comprised only of ones own ideas is dangerous. It gives us certain feeling that everything we seem to exist in is right. Only looking at things from another angle gives us the healthy I-know-only-that-I-don't-know-anything attitude.
Let that be all for this first post. I'll call it a prologue.

Well, I used the exactly same mental principle of wanting to share my thoughts with others.
