Unusual Subroutines

So… I think that the time has come for me to publicly examine why I write. Well, perhaps not the time, but at least a time. I have little doubt that I will pretend at introspection at some date in the distant or not-too-distant future. I make no pretension that I will never have the feeling that I have come upon some momentous discovery about myself and come to feel that somehow I have radically changed who I am and what I believe because of some latest whim or whiff of a thought. I've read too many of my own journal entries from ages past to think that I am ever really in the midst of a revolution.
