Why a blog? Good Question! I don't know.

First, I am not Frank Sinatra. I wanted an alias because I don't want people to know who is writing this blog. I enjoy Frank's music, so there you go

So, with that....


After a mind-boggling twelve minutes of deliberation, I have decided to write a blog. I know everyone has a blog. And I mean everyone. Hell, if Moses was here today, he wouldn’t have stone tablets, he would have a blog. His site would be something like www.mosesandthebloggedcommandments.com or something to that effect. The point I am absurdly making is that everyone blogs about something; war, TV shows, their little life among the masses. So, I am no different. I have no desire to make this something more than it is. I just want to write again.

I used to love to write when I was younger. The mere thought of writing a little story was enough to make me smile and imagine what the story would be. What the characters’ personality would mold into and how they would interact with other players in the story. Who could I tag as the antagonist? Who would be the hero? What would I use as the common bond that linked the two as they conflict with each other during the story? Those are the things I loved to do as a little boy in Western Kansas with only a horse and a field to peer at. Twenty-five years later, I am going to try to do this again. This time, I won’t stop because the actors in my mind found common ground from where they could settle their differences. In fact, these stories won’t be fictional tales where a climax and resolution must take place so the story may end happily, but these are stories about my life and drawn from my memories of a rough but wonderful childhood through to my current life.
