Explanation

For a very long time I've surrounded myself with very strong willed people. My wife, My sister, My best friends. And I've been thinking that it would be both therapeutic and interesting to start a blog where I could be totally honest about the things that affect me.

When I was younger, I was much more aggressive about things. I showed my ignorance more than once because of it. I want to find that same confrontational self only channel that into something much more constructive. I thought that Facebook would be that for us, but after about 4 hours on there you realize the kind of people that your "friends" are.

This should be a place where open constructive conversations can begin about the very core values that make me who I am. I've titled this blog The Real Me (for those who care), because I have no delusions that anyone is really reading this thing. And if you are going to read it, please be respectful enough not to judge me too harsh for what I write. That vulnerability is, after all, what this blog is about.

One day I would like my children to be able to read this blog and know exactly who and why there father was.
