Hi Everyone!
Yes, I’ve decided to start my own blog. Some of you might be saying, “Well, it’s about time!” Yes, I am a little behind on the social networking bandwagon. Why start a blog now?
Well, I’m a casual participant on the Internet today. I have a Facebook account that I update *maybe* once a week … usually when I see or do something interesting that I want to share with others in a status update. Seeing all of the fun Chris and others are having with Twitter, I’ve recently joined Twitter and linked that up to my Facebook status. I’ve also linked up my phone to Facebook and I’ve been posting interesting images I’m seeing in my life, usually with thought-provoking captions.
So, all of my contributions to the Web today are pretty much confined to the length of a text message or status update. I’ve recently come across a couple of things that I want to chat about that I can’t capture in a picture or express in the confines of a Twitter update. Hence, my first blog.
Alright, this is not my FIRST blog. I had to write a blog for a literacy course this summer for school. I don’t think that counts, though.
I’ll warn you all now, I’m not big on writing. I don’t do diaries, and I am horrible at keeping touch with letters and e-mails. (Anyone who has been my friend through the college years will definitely attest to that!) But once in a while, a bee gets in my bonnet about something, and I feel the need to vent. Similarly, once in a while, something truly amazes me and I feel the need to share that with others. (I’ll warn you now, the former usually happens much more than the latter.)
So, welcome to my blog! I’ve got a couple of topics already in mind for my first few posts. I hope to present some thought-provoking ideas and situations which will generate your need (yes, need) to comment. Feel free to whole-heartedly agree with me, or tell me I’m completely full of crap. (As you can see, I love extremes!)
Enjoy!
