First Words

I'm guessing I should have more anxiety about writing my first words. I mean, after all this is going on the internet for all to see! Wait, let me cut the bull, when people say its going on the internet for all to see, they really just mean their real friends, a few tech-savy family members, and a handful of "Facebook" friends. I mean seriously, how many of us truly think the people we are "cyber friends" with really care. Anyway, I digress. In all seriousness, I'm writing because I want to raise my voice. I want to take the time to chronicle life, the issues young professionals face, and bring an additional layer of attention to the greatest civil rights issue of our time - educational inequity. I plan to write a lot and sometimes it just won't make sense, but the goal is to create a body of work that is so captivating and inspiring in its depth that it eventually cost me my future in public office 10 years from now.

So, the name "Talking Out Loud", was stolen from an expression my dad and I use a lot. It just means that your saying what's on your mind, just to say it and people can take it either way they want. So, just know I'm gonna say some stuff that you might have some issues with, but feel free to challenge me and my opinions...cause I'm just TALKING OUT LOUD!!
