I have often wondered... what inspires people to start their own blog? Is it because they want their ideas and thoughts heard? Or is it because they are narcissistic and feel they have a better grasp on issues than most? Maybe some blog in the hope that they can be influential and change this or that,one thing or another. Maybe others blog just to make sense of confusing issues in their own minds. I don't know for sure, but I have to ask myself that same difficult question, "Why are you starting a blog?".
This question should be easy enough to answer. Somehow though I don't know why. I am not expecting this blog to make any money. I do not expect that I will reach millions of people and institute or start any REAL change. I do not expect that the masses will respond with ego boosting comments or accolades about how smart or insightful I am. (as a matter of fact I expect quite the opposite of that)
I suppose if I had to pick one reason it would be the one I mentioned earlier. I am just trying to make sense of confusing issues in my own mind. I don't have all the answers and I promise I will never pretend to.
I do hope you will find this blog entertaining. Educational yes, thought provoking hopefully, but mostly, I just want you to be entertained. You don't have to agree with most or anything of what I write to be entertained. You don't have to agree with my viewpoints to learn something of value. The topics we will be discussing in this blog will vary. Current events, pop culture, sports, news, finances, and like the name,politics. Speaking of the name...I must admit in a rare moment of vanity...I like it!
For just as the name implies politics have become idiotic. I will spare no political idiot from my sharp wit and fast fingers. I will point out both Republican and Democratic hypocrisy and idiocy.
I am well aware that many that follow this blog will not agree with everything I assert. With your help, I will separate fact from fiction, logic from emotion, and sometimes even right from wrong. I will read your comments and suggestions and together we will find some common ground. My writing style will most probably evolve, or morph into something quite different than what it is at present. Several of my friends and colleagues have informed me of this. I will always try to keep the words readable and the content current.
I do ask those that know my true identity to keep it to themselves. I understand that most that read this especially in the beginning, are my friends. But please, refer to me in your posts or replies as Durastorm.
Thanks for listening....
