A Little More

I realize that my first post was a cop-out.  I wasn't quite ready to define what it is exactly that I'm doing here.  Let's have another go at the introduction thing.  The aim of this blog is to chronicle my ideas on what it means to be human based on reflections of everyday occurrences.  What do I mean when I say "what it means to be human?"  Well, I am talking about what sets us apart from other species.  Language mainly.  As a species our ability of language translates into so many things, infinitely, really.  That is what this blog is about:  observations of the mundane and the profound in regards to the manifestation of what sets us apart from other living things on this planet.  What it is to be human can be defined by our relationships with each other, with our selves, with the rest of the planet, and how those relationships came to be.  I will expound on that further, the idea of how these definitions came to be, when I'm ready to delve into explaining the phenomena of memes.  For now, I think this short paragraph will suffice as a good springboard for whatever is to come.
