everything goes somewhere

... and here I've come.




So, why do a blog?  It's good to answer this question.  

I wrestled with the idea of blogging for a while.  I mean really, who is that important that other people should be updating themselves with their little thoughts all the time?  But then I realized... it's more like an interactive journal.  So, I guess that's ok.

In the world, we have extroverts and introverts.  People who prefer to live externally and people who love their inner world. Socialites vs. loners.  Although it has introduced us to new and amazing ways to communicate, the internet has really diminished our "social skills".  It is a lot more comfortable to text or IM than it is to call or visit.  It requires less courage, less energy, less time, less interest and occasionally, less money.  But the drive to be social has not shrunk.  It is just being expressed in these new avenues.  Before this blog gets really boring, let me jump to the point - I'm choosing to express my desire to be social by blogging. 

Not a big deal.  Definitely nothing new, but it is an avenue I'm going to explore and I hope you come along for the ride.  If you've received a personal invite to this blog its for one or more of the following reasons:

a) You're awesome
b) I love you
c) I think you have a great mind
d) Your input is appreciated
e) You are an 80's child like me
f) You like chocolate chip mint but only the green kind (optional)

I would like for this to be more interactive than anything.  I mean, if I can toss out a thought that generates a lively discussion even if heated, wait no, especially if heated, then I can go to sleep happy and maybe even replace some of these crazy post apocalyptic nightmares I've been having with King Arthur's round table type images.

So I have some blogs I've already prepared and I'm going to post one of these a day.  Their real composition dates will be contained in the body of the blog.

I look forward to your comments, thoughts, arguments, random unrelated words, whatever you have to give.

Fire up your keyboards!  Let's blog it up...
