Reasons for starting

I've started blogs in the past but I never had the discipline to keep up with them. So they got lost, or deleted, forgot the password, never to be opened, updated or read again. A digital travesty, a perfidious loss of dedication. Well, today's a new day. I'm reopening this chapter. I've entitled the blog "Asian Ravings." Seemed appropriate at the time - it might be as organic and dynamic as the impetus that guided my hands to the keyboard in the first place. So it might change. But for now, asian ravings, yes, an assonant rhyme. sexy. Asian ravings - I'm claiming it, it's mine.

I've started this because I now have the time to chronicle the comings and goings of my exciting life. You see, I'm a movie star - an actor of all trades. My life is a masquerade, but now I want to lift the mask. Breath new life into these events that populate, punctuate and define my life and have record of them.

There is one thing that I would like to clarify - for those that might be reading and thinking, "What the hell?" This blog is for me, mostly. And for you. But mostly for me. This text is brain-colored, like rain during a hurricane. Brain-colored because I'm putting my brain on paper baby! Can you see the synapses? Can you feel their spongy-ness? Can you hear the humming of the electrical exchange of information? Oh yes, brain on paper. (New title?)

Okay, this blog will be a diary of sorts; a place of transcendence but immanence too. Transcendant because I want the words to transform me in a way that precipitates growth by enshrining my memories but also offering an outlet of critical analysis. I need to practice if I'm to get my Ph.D. (long-term goal of mine). Immanence because I want to point out the irony that I want to transform myself through an examination of past events. Bound by my immanence, yet transformed by it. So Immanence = transcendence? See here 2+2=5. So there. My rules. My blog. Boo-ya.

So much has happened in my life that I need to account for it. If not then I would be betraying myself and my sensibilities. Also, my blog name is Josue Coranez (pronounced Hoe-sway Koraniez). Which is a variation of my real name. Which I may have allowed to be displayed in my profile, but whatever, it isn't so much for anonymity as it is for reclaiming my name, my true name, my journaling name, my blogger name. So there.

Well those are my reasons for starting - my justification if you will. You are now reading my brain paper, the cerubellum times, the cerebral chronicles, my blog, my blog, me.
