So here it is...my first blog entry.

I'll start this way. I like to write. I like the act of putting my words down on paper. And then later, maybe, letting someone read them.

So here's why I like it that way. As the name of the blog implies...I tend to speak the truth. And sometimes that isn't a good thing. So if I write it down, there is still time to edit. There is still time to soften the words. To make sure they are PC. To think about tone. To think about how the hearer, or reader in this case, will receive them.

That's just not true when I talk. I tend to just say whatever pops into my head. And that's not always good. It is truth...or at least my version of it. But it's still not good. Sometimes truth should stay just where it was...locked inside my head.

So, I'll try to speak truth here. And I'll also try to be sure to edit myself. I can't always guarantee it won't offend or that it will be PC, but I will try.
