What's this all about???

I thought I would start with a little about me and what this is all about.  First let me start with the title One Grey Man.  If you've stumbled across this hoping for a 50 Shades of Grey blog you're probably going to be disappointed.  I found the term Grey Man on a site called ITS Tactical.  It's basically another way of saying be anonymous.  Their definition of a grey man is  "People moving around us every day whose physical presence is so non-stimulating that we ignore them. They are for all intents and purposes, invisible to us."  Living as an introvert I read this and thought this is exactly who I try to be when I find myself in a crowd.  One on one I enjoy being around people.  However as crowds grow my level of enjoyment steady decreases.  

As for myself... I'm a married, middle aged (still getting use to that idea),man, with a great wife, and three kids.  I've always been introverted but it's been known by different names; shyness, quiet, reserved, etc.  I know many people would view this as an odd step for an introvert.  Basically it allows me to be somewhat social but in a way that I have control over.  I also found that writing helps me put my thoughts together and allows me to express myself better in real social situations.  I hope that if anyone who comes across they leave with something to think about.  If you want to discuss something leave a comment. I will check and do my best to respond regularly.

What am I going to write about?  I'm not exactly sure, much of it will be what I've learned about being an introvert.  Really just because as I've read and learned more about myself I've found it interesting.  I think there are a lot of other people just like me that feel out of place in this world and hopefully after reading for a bit they will find the value of their introversion.  I'll probably throw in other things that interest me like; religion, craft beer, books, movies, and art.
