I guess, before I start getting into the actual blog itself, I should probably go into why I'm doing this at all. I mean, I could just as easily put this down in Word and share it only with close friends rather than throwing it out into the vast expanses of cyberspace. Really, there are a few reasons.
One is motivation. Anyone who knows me well enough, knows that I can sometimes lack in motivation to do things. If I didn't have any expectation of people actually reading this stuff, I doubt it would get done within any reasonable length of time.
Another reason is practice. Just like anything else, if you want to be good at writing, you have to practice. Another thing that usually I need motivation to get done.
Finally, it's a sort of cyber-penance I'm placing on myself. While I'm fairly internet savvy, as a rule I tend to stay away from 'fad' trends if I can help it. I didn't get a Myspace page until practically made to, and by that time Facebook was getting really trendy. By the time I got around to making a page for that (again, under duress) Twitter was the new thing. And no, I don't tweet. Yet. So, this is my way of throwing myself further into the digital age and hopefully providing something meaningful and/or entertaining to the rest of the world.
Hope you enjoy. If not then at least take solace in knowing I enjoyed it.
