When I said I was going to (try to) stop so much about myself, I was referring to some of the most shamelessly self-indulgent (and usually boring and poorly written) stuff I have occasionally thrown up onto this blog.

I still see the world through me eyes. I am still affected by my experiences and personal ideologies. My posts will still be about books I have read, thoughts I have experienced, and events I have attended.

In general, things that have, in some way, happened to me.

And I will still try and note how these things might or might not affect my view of a subject.

For example, when I write about Haley Barbour, I usually make note of the fact that in 2003, my candidate lost an election to him.

But unless I can directly connect it to a larger world – to people, places, and things beyond myself.

At least, that’s what I’m going to try to do.
