Howdy! This is my first attempt at anything like this. Apparently, it’s been a long time coming. My professors, colleagues and friends have been telling me for years that I need to write on a more professional basis…so here I am. I don’t know how “professional” a blog is, but I felt I needed to start writing somewhere and this seemed like as good a place as any.
Myhillbillylogic is simply a place for me to write about the world the way I see things. If you go to my bio (https://myhillbillylogic.com/about-the-hillbilly/) page you’ll get a better idea of the source of all the crap that runs through my mind on a daily basis. Some people like to write. Some get paid to write. I find that I NEED to write at times. The problem with having a mind as dysfunctional as mine is that there are so many ideas kicking around in my delicate little grape at one time and sometimes the only way to get any peace is to put those thoughts in black and white and read them back to myself until they make sense. I’ve been doing that for years, but not until I went back to finish my degree did I learn that there were people out there who actually like to read the ramblings of a mad man
Just a little bit of a warning up front. I’m going to piss some people off. It seems that in today’s climate it’s almost impossible not to upset someone. BUT…I’m an equal opportunity offender. I’ll piss off Atheists and Christians, Liberals and Conservatives, Rappers and Rockers…all races, colors, creeds, professions and people of specific geographic locations are equally going to be upset with something I say at one point or another. That’s 180 degrees out from the specific point of this page, but I’ve learned from the things I’ve posted on social media over the years that even if you enlighten, educate, motivate or provoke positive thought in 95% of the people who read something you’ve written, there’s still that 5% out there who disagree with you so vehemently that they’d spend hours trying to invent new words and derogatory phrases in order to try to make you feel terrible for speaking your mind. If anyone who reads anything I’ve written arrives at the conclusion that I’m directing something at them personally, get over yourself…I’m just airing my opinions.
You’re apt to come across anything on this site. When the mood strikes me I’ll write about anything from hunting, fishing and gardening to music to movies to political issues to sports to the current military tactics of the Congolese Army. Again…the bio will explain quite a bit about my background and once you understand that, you’ll get a better idea of where I’m coming from.
