There was me, trying to come up with something to write in this Blog. And that brings up my first problem - I don't know what the Hell a Blog really is. In fact, I don't even know if I should be using a capital B when I write the word Blog or if that's just stupid.
What I think I know about a Blog is that people seem to write about whatever comes to mind and, in our increasingly internet dependant culture, they can now "post" their thoughts, ideas, opinions, rants, and whatever else is on their mind, on a site like this one.
Now, I'm not sure this is such a good idea - especially for someone like myself. I mean, to give me free rein to write whatever I feel like - that's going to be trouble. Trouble because I have way too much to say. Ask anybody who knows me - I have an opinion on everything. Over the years I have actually tried to become more prudent when offering my thoughts on a subject. And now I've decided to unleash myself upon the unsuspecting public . . .
Now that last line brings up another issue: who the Hell am I to think anyone is interested in listening to what I have to say? And to be honest - I don't have a good answer. It's reasonably arrogant to assume oneself interesting enough to get other people to take the time to read what they write.
Am I that arrogant? The simple answer is yes - but I think that's O.K. The alternative is to do nothing, to not try to contribute, and to stay on the sidelines. That doesn't seem like the right move either. So I guess the bottom line is, like so many of us, I feel I have something to say. If that something is insightful, or pretentious, intriguing, or tiresome, only time will tell.
That's all for now I suppose. Until next time.
