(first post)

Everyone has a stroke of brilliance at least once in their lives. For most of us, it's surrounded entirely by chaff and is nearly indistinguishable from the surroundings. My moments of brilliance have come and gone, completely occluded by my foolish decisions and humor and more or less completely without fruition and completion.

Scientology has a term - "end cycle" - for the cessation of a human life. My point of reference is a Scientologist, who, having been sucked dry of funds during a non-terminal illness stay in a hospital, was ordered to "EOC", or "end cycle"... she died shortly thereafter. Click here for more information on EOC.

So, why endcycle for a title to my blog? I like the way it sounds, honestly... Sure, there are other meanings and reasons, and some Arrogantly Deep Thoughts to go with those, but those are for me to know (and you to probably not give a damn about).

What will be found in this blog? Ranting, raving, politics, religion, computing, sex - whatever I have an opinion on, I'm going to probably write about. I promise there will be no poetry or art pieces - I have a livejournal for that emotastic goop, and that's about what it's good for to me. Blogger has a nice RSS feature, and subscribing to this blog is easy if you have an RSS reader (or use Firefox, which you really should be doing).

Have a nice day!
