First Entry

The last time I started an Online Blog was May 2002 on livejournal.com. I continued to blog on a semi-normal basis for about three years. This particular blog served as a personal diary where I wrote numerous entries that I later realized would have been better off as private entries. There were times when I wrote about a book I was reading, politics, or art, but more often than not, my entries would include my own personal struggle with both religion and faith. After my nasty fall-out with religion, these entries would frequently lead to debate and anger among my readers, who were mostly old friends from the Church I attended in 2002. By the time 2005 rolled around, I didn't have much more to say. Perhaps I didn't want to speak to my readers anymore, but frankly, I was better off without the blogging battles.

Eventually, in late 2005, my brother started an Online community for our family hosted at bloomston.com. These blogs were limited, but the site was a wonderful tool to keep our family in contact and updated on our lives. At some point, through website updates and our busy schedules, our family stopped blogging.

Since bloomston.com went silent, I started a couple new blogs that were never used. On occasion I post blog entries on myspace.com, but these are rarely read by other people and aren't necessarily intended for large audiences.

So, here we are. The content of Nous Letters is still unknown, but I do believe this blog will be far more coherent and tolerable than previous blogs. (And, on that note, I don't recommend clicking the links above as it will be a daunting task to find something worth reading.) I do not write much poetry these days, so I believe that will be pretty limited here. I have been reading the Newspaper and some books again, so I'm sure that will be thrown into the mix. As for my life, I will keep this blog limited to questions and ideas running through my crazy head. I will try to keep updates on my life limited, as I know that if a reader was interested, he/she would ask. In the meantime, look back later today for another entry.

PS- Nous is my chess handle on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server) and it also sounds like "news". Look up "nous" on dictionary.com for more interesting definitions that make me sound like an arrogant bastard. Enjoy.
