Mission Statement

And what is the mission, precisely? I suppose that I can answer that no more than anybody else can. Sure, on the superficial level, the answer seems easy. I have made a blog so that I can write. But hell, I can do that on MS Word and spare myself the prospect of being read. No, there must be a reason why I've created this.

Ah, that is it. I need to create. I am human, that is what we do. Build, destroy, rebuild. And this is a small link in the chain of human works, one not likely to turn many heads. Or perhaps, it might catch an eye or two. Either way, the goal is one of creation.

I simply need a place to put my thoughts.

One might turn to Myspace or Facebook for such things, but no. Social programs are good for what they do. The thoughts that merit placement there, are placed there. A voice in the world, though, begs to be heard. Such, perhaps, is the mission entailed. To spread my words to the masses.

Perhaps that is all that anybody has ever needed, really. The world falls upon two distinct groups: speakers and listeners. One gives the orders, the other recieves. Speakers create, destroy, oppress, liberate. They have the voice, and with voice, power and freedom. Listeners, in turn, learn from these speakers. Their lives augment according to the words spoken to the world. Within each of us is a shard of each, a consumate yin and yang that dictates our courses of action. I have grown tired of listening. I have a voice, and I demand to have it heard. As well each of us should.

The purpose of this blog, I suppose, is to create. It is to be my voice. Whether I shout at the universe with no response, or I whisper to my neighbor and shatter the windows is of no consequence in that regards. I have a voice, and it must be spoken.
