Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my humble blog! So I now find myself with some extra time on my hands, and thought it high time I started a blog to write about what I find interesting in the world, what I'm doing, and other such novelties. I've called it "through my slanted lens" because isn't that how we all see the world, each with our own personal biases? One of my favorite quotes from high school and still is from "To Kill a Mockingbird", which pinpoints the problem at hand: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." And who among us can say we can actually do that, even in a metaphorical sense? We all try, I most definitely try to, but at the same time when I approach an issue, a problem, a circumstance, it's with my personal background and my personal knowledge of the situation and my personal end goals. You would come with yours. We could see the exact same situation but from a totally different angle-- each through our slanted lens.

So here I am giving you my point of view. I want to know yours. If an article I post or something I write interests you comment your eyes out. The world will be a better place because of it.

(the inspiration for the name):
From my slanted lens
I look at the mingling crowd and cannot but wonder at their source their destination
The plight of the weary, the step of the proud, all blend into one
Lonely and quick.
