I gave up attempting to be profound years ago. It may be seen as sad to say but I’ve lost all desire to be my generation’s “next big thing”. That isn’t to say I don’t try to put my own mark and spin on what I do, but I realized that trying to be that remarkable person just ends in a lot of disappointment during your life. So for now, I’m working on making statements that I feel comfortable having connected to me and the person I am right here and now.

To be honest, finding that realization is probably why it’s taken me over 2 years to create a personal blog. Even though I’ve been blogging professionally as part of my day job (disclosure I work for Radian6), it has been a struggle for me to find not just my personal voice, but what part of my personal views I feel I can share openly.

As far as sharing goes, I’m not one to air my dirty laundry per say in front of people, let online on a public sphere. It has never been part of my personality and probably never will be to draw attention fully to what is happening in all aspects of my life. Call it compartmentalization, call it tact, call it plain defense mechanism to ensure the world doesn’t fully figure how slightly illogical all of my actions can be at times. Whatever it is, it’s part of who I am. So for me, this blog isn’t all about my personal life, though I’m sure a little of that will slip through, but it’s about the life we’re all leading in this growing socially connected world and how we’re dealing with that as human beings.

Everything we do in life has some form of logic to it. Even if it’s only based on our own personal beliefs. We build our own perceptions on every situation we encounter based on this logic. Over time it might shift as we grow and learn, but at the end of the day we still all maintain a perceptual logic that is all our own. There is no guarantee that everything posted to this site will always be inspiring, profound, or amusing but in this little corner of the universe you’ll always get a sneak peek view of my own personal logic, Nine Letter Logic, on this crazy little thing we call life.
