First time

Hello one and all - I've made this blog to explore the phenomenon of the modern Dilettante. First, you may be asking, "What is a Dilettante, and who is this weirdo writing about it?" Well, let me tell you - a dilettante is a dabbler, a person who has a "superficial" interest in a great many subjects. Next you might ask, "What is this Dilettante's curse this guy is talking about?" I say curse because I feel it is a curse to be a dilettante (I consider myself to be one) - Generally speaking people of consequence tend to be specialists - people with passion in one area. People in my industry - financial services - tend to be this way. Passion for securities trading/analysis and nothing else. They can dedicate themselves to this completely and not bat an eye. I cannot, and I suspect no other dilettantes can either! Hence, this blog to explore this issue and also to show you the stream of conciousness that is the Dilettante's mind!
