Introducing my reading journal blog

Hello and welcome to the Torpedo Fish blog. For many years now I have overwhelmed myself with all the thoughts on all the various attitudes and approaches I might take to writing a blog suited to my wide ranging interests but once and for all I am just going ahead and getting to work. So here it is, the Torpedo Fish blog. I am merely a humble armchair philosopher (actually I have a BA), amateur cosmologist, atavistic theologian, novice theoretical scientist and greenhorn cultural critic. As for cliches you might consider me a “jack-of-all-trades, master of none,” or a “life long learner” when it comes to the width and breadth of all there is to discover in the history of intellectual, artistic and spiritual human endeavors. Basically I read a lot and now I want to write a little, mostly about what I read, and I want to read what you all have to write about what I write about what I read and in turn write about what I read about what you write about what I write about what I read. I might even find time for current events! This blog is a work in progress. Bear with me.

Permanent disclaimer for all blog post: Unless explicitly stated to the contrary given a particular context and issue I am in no way to be regarded as an expert or authority on anything and do not see myself as such. If you are an expert in any area or on any topic that this blog might touch on please let me know and share your knowledge and opinions. I want to learn and I am open to contrary points of view and the fact that my mind can and may be changed. I will engage in good faith with any and all people with whom I might have a serious disagreement and I will disregard anyone who does not lend the same courtesy.

If this short introductory blog seems to imply that my overall style is vague and meandering, maybe try reading my posts, though you might just be proven right…
