It's Rishi

Not many people will be reading this first post, but the lack of an audience has never before stopped me from sharing my thoughts. I’ll be the first to admit: I am a very verbose person. Maybe it’s just that I like the sound of my voice (true of most people) but, more importantly, I always seem to have a lot of thoughts spinning around in my head. And I enjoy sharing these thoughts with others.

If there’s people around me, there’s rarely a quiet moment. Anyone that has met me can surely attest to this. Come to think of it, even random strangers at baseball games, on airplane flights, or in the checkout-lines at grocery stores have told me that I talk a lot. When I was a kid I used to construe such comments from strangers as a compliment, but as I’ve become older and wiser, I have come to realize that these people really just wanted me to shut-up.

When I’m alone, like say in the car or on the treadmill, I enjoy sharing these thoughts with…myself. Yes, today I am also admitting to the world that I talk to myself a lot. I don’t do this out loud so as to sound like a crazy schizo person, instead I like to think of it as my brain broadcasting a radio show for the rest of my body to listen to. Sort of like giving my billions of cells something to entertain themselves with while going about their jobs. Howard Stern who?

For those that don’t know me well, you’re probably wondering what I could possibly be thinking/talking about all the time. Here’s a typical list of the type of things floating around in my mind (in no particular order):

The goal of this blog is to share whatever’s on my mind with anyone and everyone who may find them amusing. I think I have some interesting stuff to say but I’ll let you be the judge. Who knows, maybe I’ll even make my 1-man radio show public (to actual real people) by starting a podcast at some point. As will be true of all my posts from here on forward, if you have any comments, I’d love to hear them.
