Right now, at this very moment, it feels like I have waited much to long to start this blog – finally a steady home on the internet for my ideas and viewpoints. My mind has been a nomad on countless internet foras before I took this step and that has felt good in all it’s unpretentiousness (though I have written a lot of pretentious posts) and greater degree of anonymity, but now I feel that it’s time to gather the tribe of views in the same land.

I wonder whether the strongest reason for this is that I search the light (your attention and acclaim) or whether it’s because I want to be a small flickering light unto the nations – probably both i guess, though in a rather humble way – I convince my self.

I have a feeling that I will at times regret this blog – but probably not for it’s effect on the world (though I’m not certain of that) and I guess that’s the only thing that a righteous blogger should care about.

I worry that my editorial level will vary a lot, but I hope that you will have forgiveness with that.

I feel that one of my weaknesses as a scribe is to overelaborate and thereby becoming unbearably pretentious. You might ask yourself sometimes – is he serious or is he kidding? I’m mostly serious, I have to say, but at the same time, rather self reflective and not without a sense of humour – I think.

Another partial weakness of mine is having a rather compulsory need for precision in my written viewpoints, resulting in an excessive use of qualifications in my sentences as well as subseqent overusage of parantheses where I qualify the already qualified sentence. I will try though, not to bore you to death with that.

I guess this is not a very typical blogpost since I intend for my blog to be more outward than inward looking but I guess that I somehow felt a need to explain my presence on the net and why I chose to take up this space.

Anecdote about this first post. I managed to delete the first version just when I had written the last word – so this is the more pretentious and less spontaneous follow up written in a bit of controlled anger.
