Hey world, whassup?  I am a far from simple mind or person and I suppose my blog will be much the same.  One of the main reasons I have wanted to blog for awhile now, is that I don't believe in quick assumptions about people or ideas, even though the majority of the world seems to.  I like being able to explain my thoughts a little before people rip to shreds. 
   Even if no one reads a blog, I believe it to be a valuable experience.  I have started and stopped journals several times since I was a teenager.  I love exploring my thoughts and the crystallization that writing them down can provide.  I did not, however, love reading myself later.  Much as one hates to hear one's own singing voice when recorded.  I also was always afraid that someone would find my honest thoughts and judge me.
   I am much older and wiser now and care less about what people think. I also have more to say than which girl I have a crush on.  Some topics I would like to broach are:  religion, politics, human psychology, golf, humor, dealing with teens/children, and many others.  Basically all of the topics that will make me enemies.  I hope to find readers that are like me.  That is to say people that are open minded and loving.  Not quick to judge.  People that like to think and be challenged and not simply make simple assumptions. 
  I love reading comment sections of websites.  And I love to troll as well.  However, I only love to do it in fun and never to hurt people as flamers do.  Very few people listen anymore. Very few really search for Truth.
  Some blogs will be very short and I am sure some will be very long.  I will close with a little bit about me.  My name is James and I am a 36 year old proud father.  My children give me my true joy in life.  I will talk more about that later.  I have always loved sports and being active.  Unfortunately, I was pulled away from much of that life against my will.  I love Golf, all types of Hockey, Tennis, and Pool (Billiards).  I love music and reading (I was reading the encyclopedia and dictionary during recess at grade four).  I grew up in Canada and love my home country fiercely, even though I am an American.  Just one of many oxymorons in my life.  I am deeply spiritual (in the true sense of the word), though not religious in the sense most mean it.  One of the things that divides us is misnomers and I will discuss word meanings some other time.  I have very strong beliefs and am not afraid of them, although I do not like to share them unless I think someone will actually listen and have the time to not make a snap judgement.  Okay, well that is enough for now I think.
  Two last quick points and I will close for now.  One, I am very sarcastic most of the time, but it is in a loving and not hateful way.  I hope to not turn off to many people with my sarcasm, satire, and humor.  Secondly, I hope to get lots of comments and dialogue.  I love healthy debate and discussion.  It is one of the main reasons I want to blog.  I love discussion forums and comment sections.  I only ask that people, while discussing passionately, never attack, disrespect or belittle.  So many people, the minute someone disagrees with them, go into "attack" mode and try to "win".  I love people disagreeing with me and often will argue to pull out and understand their points and even end up taking their position in the end.  However, I can't stand it when people attack and try to hurt people simply for having different viewpoints than them.  It is monumentally naive to think anyone of us has all the answers or completely figured out. We could learn so much if we would just shut up and attend and actively listen once in awhile.
  Okay, so that wasn't so quick, but it feels good to finally knock some rust off and take the first step!  I hope you will come on this journey with me.  Adios for now!
