As a part of my New Year's Resolutions, of which I never seem to religiously complete throughout the year, I came to the conclusion that it was high time that I began blogging. But, of course, the most overasked question in the endeavor was, "But, what would I blog about?"
The answers that seemed appealing at first soon became the opposite--unbearable and restricting. You see, I have many interests, and I rotate from each to each multiple times in a week alone. If I were to only choose one of my topics of interest, this blog would wither away due to my cyclical disinterest which, no doubt, is inevitable. And then I thought, "Well, there's no need for a restriction or particular, here. Why not simply write about life?--The elements of it that strike me as odd and interesting." Certainly, the topic is not restricting, unless someone thinks that life itself is restricting. If this is you, then they have medicine for you, you know. =P
One of the first thoughts to pop into my head is conveniently related to the title of this blog and also a deep seated interest of mine: Shakespeare. Most, I would hope, should recognize the title of this blog as a line from the over-played "To be, or not to be" speech from Hamlet. One of those lines refer to life, the endeavor of living, as "taking arms against a sea of troubles." I have always found this line particularly profound; and in the context of this blog's purpose, it works well. This blog will be about the endeavor of living, and the trouble, travail, and weather which affects my, and hopefully your, daily life. These aspects of our endeavor might be seated in matters of theology, philosophy, or morality. They might be found in the arts--literature, film, music, stills. These aspects might be found in science and its findings. This blog will deal with all of these things.
My name is Jake, as I'm sure most of you already know. I'm highly interested in Literature and the Arts. I'm also highly interested in Philosophy. I'm also highly interested in science in technology.
Well, I hope to see you hanging around the comment boxes someday.
