Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself

So just under 3 years ago I made my attempt to enter the vast ecosystem of internet media by writing my own blog.  The last post was September 14, 2015, the subject a Dallas Cowboys game, a topic which for those who know me would say was an obvious choice.  My attempt under the blog titled Dialectic Ramblings a title I chose because my original idea for a title Coherent Ramblings was taken.  A title that I felt best suited me, especially when it came to debating or discussing various topics.  Again to those that know me my wife in particular would take note of how I would go on these very thorough and energetic rants regardless the subject.  My thought hey these are ramblings but ramblings that make sense, "COHERENT RAMBLINGS" perfection.  Yet as I've mentioned the blog title was taken so a new title was required.  What could it be?  Well from my point of view I wanted to keep to this theme of the oxymoron of Coherent Ramblings how bout logical.  Logical Ramblings however didn't have enough my punch, and very much like my style when writing poetry I wanted something more unique with a sound of something grandiose, something that makes a person run to the dictionary.  So I looked up the definition of logical and one of the synonyms that stuck out was the word "dialectic". So of course I had to know what it meant, the definition states:

Noun- the art of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions,
           inquiry into metaphysical contradictions and their solutions

MIND BLOWN! It's perfect where had this obscure word been hiding, of course it captured the essence of what I wanted to say.  So what happened?  I started my blog and remembered at the time writing a few political post, commenting on highlights of the latest Game of Thrones episode, and my personal favorite constructing a March Madness style tournament for all of the superhero movies that had been out to date.  The winner of said tournament chosen by poll in the end Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out on top beating The Avengers.  Point is consistency wasn't the best from trying to find a permanent job to trying to plan a wedding and a whole host of other distractions the blog itself died.  So why am I trying this again?  Well because even though it wasn't as consistent as I would've liked I enjoyed it when I did.  I love writing and doing things that utilize my creativity, and while this is just a reboot of sorts I'm hoping you enjoy it as much as I do.  So in this new version of my blog I decided to take the advice of my queen. Who said to me regardless of the subject I seem to go from zero to one hundred!  Whether we're watching Family Feud and I can't believe the dumb answer this person gave, to how much I want Jason Garrett fired as the head coach of the Cowboys, to my opinion on how there's varying degrees in the #metoo movement that all get swept up under one umbrella.  Point is I'm passionate about the things I discuss and I hope people will have find it fun and entertaining, and most importantly thought provoking.  So in my Jay-Z voice ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF my name is William C. Walker Jr. (LOL) and I hope you enjoy my blog.
