Maiden entry...

This is my maiden journey into the world of anonymous blogging.

I am blogging because I have a lot of feelings and thoughts in which I cannot share with those that I know and love. It's not that I fear judgment, I don't care about being judged about what I feel, I just don't want to deal with the fallout of discussing my feelings.

Talking 'about' things is overrated, it just creates hurt feelings, resentments and more confusion now that someone has spilled their guts, you begin to wonder if they felt that way all along and then you begin to re-evaluate every conversation you have ever had...it's too complicated and unnecessary. Whoever said to tell the whole honest 'truth' has done a disservice to mankind and should suffer for it. Truth is overrated, after all, perception is reality.

So a blog is a perfect forum for someone with too many thoughts but no one to tell. This is the place where I give all my confessions about everyone, anything and everything. This will include news clippings I read, every dumb new 'research' that comes out pretending to give empirical data on things you can't quantify, such as 'keys to a happy marriage'.

Finally, my alias, Marie Stuart, or Mary, Queen of Scots. Of all the historical figures, I somehow identify with her very much. I am not Scottish nor French, but she was caught up in the historical times she was born in and she tried her best to do what was best for France, Scotland and her faith while sometimes sacrificing herself in the process. No, I am not making myself to be a 'martyr' but I feel the same sort of conflict, doing the right thing by my family, my job and my obligations but not sacrificing myself in the process.

Oh and when the pedantic, erudite and pretentious side of myself comes out, be prepared for me to write long critical analysis of my favorite historical events, plays and books. I am a huge history buff, as my alias may point out.
