First Ever....

So, this is blogging!? I have heard so much.... read so little.

I am the awkward observer. In fact, philisophically speaking, I'd say we're ALL the awkward observers. Think about that for a minute. When do we really KNOW what to do in life. We all usually make our best guesses, but when something out of the ordinary happens it seems like we stand around not knowing exactly how to react or even how to posture ourselves for such an event. We all end up looking like a teenager who's voice cracks and palms sweat when he is around a girl of his liking. Stray words sputter from his mouth and his hands seem to not know whether to pocket themselves or make strange gestures in order to seem confident or in control...... awkward, right?!

On the flip, I've always liked the word soul. I love soul music and the feelings it evokes. I like the idea that we have a soul and a real core to us. I like the descriptive nature of the word. As if to say," This {arbitrary} adorns it, but this {also arbitrary} is the reality of it." Soul- The reality of it. That is a pretty good estimation of the word. Also, Soul- A TRUE feeling. We say things or people have "soul". Maybe we consider that a certain depth of emotion. At any rate, I like that word.

I don't know how often I will "blog" or even what it's about, or what it will turn out as. I like many things and like to pretend that I know stufdf about said things. So maybe this will give me a chance to learn through writing and expression, and anyone (if anyone) who reads can be enlightened in some way as well. At any rate I think that you could definitely contend that I am as an awkward teenager trying to experience true feeling and depth..... Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Soul and the Awkward Observer.
