In the Beginning

So, here I am....

I have no idea how well this will turn out. I've blogged before; that's not the issue. I'm just not sure if anyone will actually come around to read this.

By way of introduction, I am an introspective sort, so a lot of this will be me just basically thinking out loud. This will be my outlet of sorts, because I'm rather guarded in face-to-face situations, and this is my space to let it out. I'm currently a "free-agent" accountant (unemployed, in other words) in search of some work that for a change, will be satisfying for me. I'm not expecting a "dream job", mind you, but one with a little less of the corporate jungle and more caring about people would be wonderful. I am a good person, a good friend, but certainly not perfect. I have my vices and flaws, and I try to work around them as best I can. I enjoy making people laugh, or at least smile, not as the "life of the party", but more as a bemused observer. I can be alternately heavy, and incredibly frothy. And I believe life lessons, God moments, as it were, are all around us if we take the time to look.

I was part of a social network at Yahoo, which has begun its dissolution process, primarily due to apathy from Yahoo folk, and the resulting departure of my friends. It wasn't so much the leaving that bothered me, it was the not saying good-bye. And because of that, there is a void in my life, a need to connect. I truly hope this is a start toward a remedy for me.
