I've started a new blog for posting my philosophical, spiritual, and religious thoughts.   The idea is really two-fold.   First, my primary blog is getting overly crowded with philosophy posts, which is not what I want to do with it.  Second, this gives me an opportunity to focus my thoughts on this subject matter in a constructive way.

If you know me, you already know that I think about this way too much, and I have several different thoughts about life, and more specifically our mortality.  If you don't know me already, then please allow me to introduce myself.

I am a computer software developer turned product manager.  I am married and I have a six year old daughter.  In my adolescence, around 16 years of age, I was baptized.  Soon thereafter I experienced what Christians like to call a "back-slide" and went completely off the rails of Christianity.  When I was in college I majored in computer science and minored in philosophy.  During this time I spent hours reading the works of some brilliant individuals such as Nietzsche, Paine, Aquinas, and more.

Understanding this life is one of the few things in which I have truly conceded failure, however I still continue my search for wisdom, insight, and inspiration.  While I no longer consider myself Christian my protestant upbringing has forced me to be someone who can not rule it out. So I don't really consider myself much of anything, religiously.  I am me, and I simply don't know what lies ahead of this life... if anything.
