And so it begins...

Since this is my very first blog, I feel it’s important to define for you, my avid and dedicated readers, what you can expect from my blog.  Also, my personality dictates that I logically, and in an orderly fashion, set a foundation for my irrational behaviors and generally dry humor. 

As my blog title states, you can expect obsessive and compulsive tendencies to run rampant throughout my blogs.  I like to people watch, and stare, and I generally enjoy analyzing human behaviors.  Although I have not attained a degree in Sociology, I took one college course and have deemed myself an expert capable of studying and explaining social behaviors. 

I also tend to contemplate (some would say over-analyze) life - past, present, and future.  This is where the musings make their debut.  Some (ok, it’s from freedictionary.com) would say that contemplative thoughts are an “elegant tapestry of quotations, musings, aphorisms, and autobiographical reflections”.  You could loosely apply this definition to any of my future blogs if you said it with a hint of sarcasm… okay, maybe dripping in sarcasm. 

Many days I find myself contemplating the oddities of life and will arrive at a perfectly reasonable explanation.  Such as, what the hell is “planking” and why are people so eager to lie face down on the pavement and have someone take their picture, which is then immediately uploaded to Facebook through their smartphone where it gets 23 “likes” and 17 “comments” within 4 minutes.  (See my very next blog)  As such, I may share these oddities and explanations with you, effectively providing you disambiguation on the matter.  You will thank me someday…

Finally, retrospect.  I love to tell stories, especially from the “good ole’ days”.  I like to exaggerate, stretch the truth, what have you… and make the story my own.  This aspect of my blog is, as I expect, what you will enjoy the most.  At least my Mom will and, more than likely, she will be my only “avid and dedicated reader”.

Now that we have all of that out of the way, we can get down to business.  I initially thought I would tell you a little about myself.  However, Google had me fill out this whole profile thing, which you can view to the right, and I think I will leave it at that for now.  It’s probably best if you each develop your own vision of who I am by reading through my blogs.  It makes things more interesting that way…

I hope you enjoy my ramblings and thanks for reading!  Official blog #1 to follow…
