The beginning of "life or something like it"

I must say that I am not highly familiar with such a format than this. Having posted frequently on various message boards and spouted off freely on streetcorners and barstools, I figured why not give this one a shot. A rather inauspicious beginning to an online open window to the workings of that odd little thing I call me. I promise that I will soon go much further in the field of what I think about life, and those who stumble this way will be sorry I did. :) For now, I will throw my first post up and see what this thing looks like when I turn the key.
