The beginning...

For some reason, I've been very intimidated by this whole blog thing. I figure the best thing to do with tasks that intimidate me is to just do it. I think part of it is that the whole world can read my thoughts. That is kind of scary. Secondly, the whole world can see what an awful writer I am. But that is life. On the other hand, I love checking out my friends' blogs. I wish they'd write more often. However, I seem to collect friends who are witty, deep, and/or brilliant. I, on the other hand, rarely make much sense and I have bad grammar. On the bright side, if you get bored with mine, or get sick of the run-on sentences just check out my friends' blogs or websites. Theirs, I assure you, will be much more interesting in just about every redeeming aspect. I have never been much of a perfectionist so I plunge forward, flaws and all.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor ; spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

-- Theodore Roosevelt

Indeed welcome, friend. I look forward to reading both your entries here and your comments elsewhere throughout the blogosphere.

It's about time. Who do you mock first?

Adam said...

Are you aware that most blogs have a beginning, middle, and end?

I don't know. Do most blogs have an end? I suppose many of them die not with a bang but a whimper.

But they definitely should have a middle.
