Is this thing on?

I’m Arrow, and for now, I’m going to be calling this blog “Hawk and Awe”, though that may change.

So what are we doing here?

Well, for now, learning. I’ve had webpages in the past, but the less said, the better. Used Livejournal too. I’ve wanted to build a website of my own for some time, honestly, more than half a decade. But it never felt the right time…I always had that task on my list that said “Build a website”, but it never got done.

I think the problem is that it was too broad a goal. It wasn’t chunked out properly and I wanted the website to spring from my mind onto the internet, fully formed like Athena from Zeus’s head. And things just…don’t work that way with me. The task is too large, so I never start.

So here we are. I’ll be building this out over time. For now, there’s the blog. I have a lot of thoughts on a lot of things, and while I’ve been posting them around online for a while, it’s been somewhat disorganized, and sometimes has been a problem as I’d lecture to people who didn’t have interest or spoons to deal with it. Furthermore, there was no easy way to refer back to them when I wanted to later.

This blog solves that by allowing easy back reference to posts on complex topics, and furthermore allows me to make my thoughts known without having to make others listen to them in a private message.

So what will my thoughts cover? Kind of a mix. I’d expect politics and thoughts on tech. I don’t know the quality, and I’m going to try and find my voice over time. I also will probably be sharing parts of my creative works here, both insights into the creation, and the finished project, as a gallery of my creative works and commissioned art is a future goal.

So for now, welcome. Make yourselves comfortable, and I hope to see you around here more often.
