Evolution of a Blog

As this blog has taken shape I have pondered the direction in which I would like to focus my thoughts, opinions, and ideas. While I traveled last week, I thought more about what kind of thoughts I would like to share, and what would be the best way to approach writing and posting on this blog.

This blog was created to be an alternative outlook on life in Bryan-College Station and the Brazos Valley. This alternative outlook was meant to include thoughts from the liberal side of the political spectrum, but also from the alternative side of life. I would like to think of this blog as a living and evolving document of thought, and hopefully in the future I will be posting more of my thoughts and linking to the thoughts of others who share alternative views.

This is obviously a blog with a point of view, a partisan and bias point of view. As you could infer by the title of the blog, this blog expresses a specifically left or liberal point of view. However, I am open to hearing other points of view, and by all means post any comments you may have that support or oppose the views of this blog.

There are alternative views in the Brazos Valley, and there are groups that share these views. However, sometimes beneath the vainer of the Maroon and the politics of Aggieland it is hard to believe that there would be anything beyond conservative thinking here. If you read through the comments at Turn Left, then you will understand the view of College Station from outside the community.

I have been cultivating links to those groups that think differently here, but it is a work in progress. But, I would appreciate any help or suggestions that you may have for alternative points of view, and alternative groups and communities. The links cultivated so far on this blog to different web sites and blogs are a beginning, but it should be even more comprehensive.

So, this particular blog has shaped into a pseudo mission statement, but I think that this is more of a clarification for the blogger and the readers of what the idea is behind Left of College Station.
