That's the main question I have had for the past several months while trying to decide if I should do one of these things or not. So, after thinking about it a bit and talking to some friends about it, I've decided to start one.
There are a couple of problems that I know I'm going to have before I really even start this thing. First off, I really don't have anything to say. My life is wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep, repeat. At least that's how I'd describe it most of the time. Sure, occasionally I'll do some thing extraordinary, such as my recent trip to India (I'll post on that soon). But most of the time my life seems routine. Too routine. Secondly, and this is the part that won't surprise anyone that knows me, if I do have something to say, I'm the type that won't say it, much less post it up on this thing where anyone can see it. I know it has to be frustrating for some of my friends and family who ask me question and all I do is give them yes or no answers, or sometimes just avoid the questions altogether. With this blog I'm suppose to write stuff down without anyone asking me dozens of times? That's going to be a challenge.
So, I guess those are my goals for this blog. One, to appreciate everyday life and make it seem less routine. And two, to open up some. Let people know what's going on without them having to interrogate me. Which is probably one of the hardest things for me to do. Mainly because I don't want to, and because I tend to stick my foot in my mouth when I do. Who knows, maybe if I write this crap down I'll be able to talk about it better...or at all.
I'll try my best to keep this blog from being, I don't know, a top ten list of Bill Murray movies (#1 is a 3 way tie between Groundhog Day, What About Bob? and whichever one I watched last), or why the letter C is pretty much useless (can it do anything that K or S can't?), or how all the Disney princesses are emotionally unstable (You're the heiress to 75% of the world, Ariel. Do you really need to grow legs and lungs to gain more of it?)
I'm not saying that I'll never post something shallow and meaningless. In fact that will probably be what I post most of the time. But I'll try. And I'm not going to post everyday, probably not every week. Honestly, right now once a month seems like a lot. But again, I'll try. So stick around and you might learn something. And if you don't like it, well that's fine too.
