I believe it’s important that the first post for my website explains why I wanted to and ended up starting it. Why did I decide to do this? For starters I have grown to enjoy writing, particularly when it’s on my terms. While I could use Twitter, Facebook, etc. to share and post, I wanted something of my own. Something that was more conducive to long posts. I also like discussion. I like hearing people’s opinions whether I happen to agree or disagree with them. The thing about agreeing or disagreeing with someone else’s opinion, at least for me, is that most of the world is defined by grey area. Sure, there are things that are black and white, but I think much more is grey. People come from wherever they come from, they have experiences, backgrounds, etc. and they take away what they take away from it all. I happen to buy into this notion and find it sort of fascinating. It doesn’t mean I think everyone’s right, but I’m willing to consider a lot if I get the impression there is reasoning behind it. Whether the subject is of real importance or is on the trivial side, my goal is that I will bring some thought and perspective to my opinion(s) in all posts.

What should you expect from this website? I plan on writing about whatever comes to mind, but I figure I will probably end up posting about sports or entertainment/pop culture mostly. Considering that 2012 is an election year, I will probably also touch on politics (I know, dicey issue). I am still thinking through exactly what I want to focus on, but I am hoping for at least one weekly series. I also plan on sharing items I feel are worthy of being shared. This is something I have wanted to do for a really long time. Now, I am in a position to give it the attention needed to make it worthwhile.

Lastly, I owe a few people some big thanks. Thanks to my brothers for helping me brainstorm the website, specifically its name. Also, thanks to Greg Hosilyk who helped me in different areas in getting this thing off the ground. I owe a huge thank you to Josh Cronkhite who setup and configured the entire website. Massive assist on his part. Thanks to you all.

Sincerely,

Wesley J. Robinson
