Odd Entrances

I admit, I'm new to the blog bag.

For those who don't know me, I am Michael MacPherson of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I'm a half-reluctant university (of Manitoba) student of moderate means and simple tastes. I like good food and fine pottery, candles and clever literature.

I am eighteen and I'm sure my writing and experiences will reflect that. Life is a long chain of action and reaction. It changes continually. It is emergent, moving from one stage to the next with little definition. This webpage is partly for me, and partly for you. For me, it is a way to organize my thoughts, to stand back and witness the changes occurring in my experiences and thoughts. As for you, well, if all goes well, you will learn valuable things that I pick up here and there. You will serve as my companion helping to clarify my thoughts (companion: from the French word 'pain' meaning 'bread', literally, 'one whom you share bread with', and you're more than welcome to stop by and have some toast and jam).

Together perhaps we can live each day to the full capacity of human experience.

Blogs will probably take the form of commentary on my experiences and thoughts, but like anything that is bound to change. Currently my interests are towards living a spiritually fulfilling life, but as I'm sure I'll write eventually, I've had a long history as an atheistic, scientific rationalist geared towards fantastic futurist technologies.

Snatch your cookie jar, munch out, and join me on this emergent pathway, wherever it may lead.
