The Birth

OK, here goes. I have started a new blog. This is not my first attempt at broadcasting my thoughts to the world: I had a blog back in high school. Back then, it was the cool thing to have. Everyone had one. I started one with the naive thought that some girl I had a crush on was actually going to care what I did day to day. She didn’t.

So now I begin another one, hopefully one with actual substance and thoughts that a select few will actually take the time to read. And if it doesn’t get read, then at least I have my segment of the internet ready for my personal use or avoidance.

I considered blogging when I moved away from home. (The thought stemmed from the idea that a new era in my life should lead to a new media of communication.) I kept myself from blogging online because I was under the notion that these internet sites were reserved for self-absorbed pricks that assumed the entire world really cared what they were thinking. Have I become one these internet hoarding criminals? Maybe, only time and future posts can tell…

I have a few goals with this blog. First, I plan to kill time and escape boredom. Next, I will use it as a means to express my thoughts on life, religion, politics, relationships, and anything that I might consider funny. (which means that you will also think it’s funny, because I have the best sense of humor in the world.) (See, I am already becoming self-absorbed.) Finally, I have always considered myself a proficient writer, so if I can use a means of entertainment to enhance my writing skills, than I will gladly sacrifice a few moments a weeks to maintain a blog. Again, only time will tell if I am to become an veteran blogger.

So I guess this marks the birth of my new internet addiction. As will all new babies, I have a lot to learn, so be patient as I figure out whats going on the interwebs. Hopefully, you will enjoy.
