I'm not too good at this.

I swear I do like to write, but life is busy enough that excuses are too easy. My recent one has been Final Fantasy VI. I bought the Pixel Remaster and have been re-living my 16bit glory days. That is all very off topic though.

It's interesting how creation and consumption typically take different levels of activation energy. Even as I type that, I can think of counter examples where I won't watch/re-watch a show because I don't want to commit or invest; so I opt for sitcom re-runs.

I started this endeavor noting that changing in my life seemed to be opening the room and need to put myself out there. Less than a month in I see barriers, internal and external, sill persist; the necessity remains.

In conclusion, try try again.

Hello

I wonder how many time's I've written a "hello world!" program?

It would be funny to compare that to the number of times I've tried to start a blog. I like writing and I often have a fair start to the endeavor, but life gets in the way and gaps appear followed by disappearing.

My life is going through some changes; divorce and kid off to college. This is naturally putting me in a position where I'm needing to find new relationships. Thinking about how to do that is forcing me to take a step back and think about who I am and what I like to do. What better way to reflect those questions than in public?

This is turning into a long way of saying, I'll surely do a better job this time keeping up with a blog.

System.out.println("Hello, World!");
