Reintroductions are in order.

This is a new blog. I guess that makes me a blogger now – although perhaps "again" would be more appropriate, as this is not my first blog. I used to skulk around LiveJournal, occasionally making a post but mostly just reading the journals of others. I do enjoy writing from time to time, though. I used to be an excellent writer, by most accounts. But lately I've let my skills of a writer languish. Maybe it's time to change that. Or maybe I'm just looking for attention. This is the Web 2.0, after all, and attention is the ultimate currency of the Internet.

So, me. I'm a fairly private individual, which is probably why I tend to give up on journals – I'm not terribly comfortable with strangers handling my private personal data. Yes, I do work in advertising and marketing, and the nature of my business might make me seem like a hypocrite to some. But I don't see it that way. Advertising is just a job. It's what I do, but it's not who I am. I'm in the job because I enjoy doing it, but it's not who I am. Judge me as you see fit – I am not defined by your opinions.

I'm going to force myself to write every day, or every other day at least. I'm quite opinionated and typically pretty forward with my ideas, but I have to admit that sometimes I have trouble processing what I'm really thinking or believing. For my own benefit, I need a space to crystallize my opinions. I need to get in tune with my consciousness.
