Setting A Course for My Blog

Since this blogging enterprise is likely to be a long-term endeavor, I want to lay out what I would like to accomplish in creating the entries for Inside My World.

I will write about many things in the months and years to come. The articles which will be added will explore many areas of human experience and try to make sense of the stories coming out of the media. I will endeavor to enlighten and hopefully at the same time entertain you. As often as I can, I will try to model myself after Art Buchwald, one of the great newspaper columnists of all time. He labelled himself "the cruise director on the Titanic." Many times I feel that I am just that.

Occasionally, I will write a piece to stir you to action when I see a cause that needs to be promoted. We are citizens of what is arguably a great nation. We are citizens of the world. And when I see the need to stir your conscience and to empower you to rise to the occasion, I will do my best to do that.

There is no need for me to comment, at great length, on the darker side of our lives and our world. All we have to do is look around to witness the sad realities of of our times. Look at the front page of the newspaper. Turn on the evening news. Apparently, bad news sells the media a lot better than good news. Ah, well! That is not what this blog is about. I want Inside My World to provide with you a respite from all that. Come here to get a laugh, to find some inspiration, to be uplifted and to find some understanding about things human that did not make a lot of sense to you in the past.

Understand that I may sometimes touch on the very things I wish to avoid here. But only with a very light touch and only in a way that will enable you to come away from that posting with a clearer sense of yourself or your world.

So that is about it. No really grand aspirations. I just want to create an island in the internet that you will serve you well and one which you will want to revisit from time to time to see where my mind has been meandering. I look forward to your visits to my blog very soon.

Kindest regards,

H Fireman
