Blog about a blog

*Pulling up my soapbox*

I'm going to start out by giving a few reasons for starting this blog. I, like everyone else in the world, have an opinion. Some of them fit within the majority, some the minority. I noticed that in a lot columns and blogs across the 'net, the writer tends to pay less attention to their audience, and more to their agenda. To a degree, it's not totally off base to think that way, but I've always felt that a person can not evolve their own thought process without listening to other opinions about a particular issue. Lots of times, however, the writers will not only refuse to acknowledge any other intelligent argument, they will go as far as leave incendiary remarks towards anyone who disagrees with them in the least. So one thing I hope to acheive is to open up some robust dialog between myself and anyone gracious enough to take time out of their day to read what I have to say, regardless of whether we agree or disagree. I have several topics that will potentially be focused on moreso than others (video games, sports,  politics, and maybe some pro wrestling), but I honestly don't see this blog having a specific "theme", at least not immediately. Any suggestions, complaints, ego-stroking praise, and monetary gifts are not only welcome, but encouraged (ok, maybe not the last one *looks around innocently*). 

Oh, what was the soapbox for? Just getting it in position for when I need it, lol.
