Welcome to my Blog.  Hi.  I’m Brett!  *waves*

Several years ago, I decided to create this blog…  I use it sometimes, and sometimes, I find myself a bit on the busy side and forget.  I am really trying to get better at that… but I know that there will be lapses where I don’t update, but when I do:

• I write what I feel – I am a person, meaning that what I feel may be anything from extreme excitement and happiness to moments of sadness or anger.
• I write about my life – And, like any other person on the planet, I interact with people and those interactions will almost always have some kind of reaction.  More often than not, they are positive.  Sometimes, people make me mad or frustrated.  Sometimes people hurt.
• I don’t bottle it all up – If there is one thing that I have learned is that it is NEVER okay to bottle up all of your frustrations.  To do so only allows for the possibility of more hurt than any person’s reaction to my words.
• I am not here to judge – I do not write to be high-and-mighty.  I write because it is one of the few things that I do that actually helps me relax, helps me help others, and lets me express myself constructively and honestly.  I will never give that up.
• I won’t apologize… often – This one is a bit harder to explain:  There are 2 kinds of people in the world.  Those that will tell you what they think to your face and ones that will not.  I will never apologize for being honest, I will not apologize for having feelings, and I will not apologize for writing them on here.  That being said, every person has a line that should not be crossed, and since I am not a psychic, I won’t know if I cross it until I do…  so if I do, let me know and I will not do it again.   And I will apologize.  :)
• And… I listen too – If you don’t agree with me on a point, or if something I write offends you, talk to me!!  One of the problems in this world is that people don’t talk enough, and with that… people don’t always listen.  I do both.  Maybe I’ll agree with you after I hear what you have to say, maybe I won’t, but let’s be adults, go grab some coffee (on me), and have a conversation.  << obligatory plea: please don’t disagree with me just to get free coffee.  rly. ^_^ >>

Anywho, with that…  I am done with this the “disclaimer.”  I hope you enjoy reading!!
