So...

Here I am, with my very own blog. When I originally sat down to write this entry I wanted to start off by saying something "meaningful". Some profoundly deep statement about the internet, and how it changes the way that people interact with each other. Or something like that. before I could get past the first two sentences, however, my computer decided to have a temper tantrum, and shut firefox down, causing my two profoundly deep sentences to disappear.

And I couldn't be happier about it.

I suppose I could go on writing my deep/profound blog entry on whatever the heck it was I was going to write about, but as computer screen went black, and then flickered back on, sans the internet window that I'd been writing in, I came to a realization. Nowadays so many people are trying so hard to make a statement that they forget to actually say anything at all. I've read so many blog entries about politics or entertainment or even about the writers personal life that get lost in hyperbole. And I have a sneaking suspicion that my profoundly deep sentences would have expanded into a long pointless blog-entry.

The main reason I'm starting this blog is because writing about my thoughts helps me organize them. A thought can get lost among all of the other little things that are floating around in the back of my mind, but if I write it down (or in this case type it), then I can focus on that one thing, and not loose track of it. Do I expect anyone to read this? Nope. Not really. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to keep this blog a secret, I just can't think of a scenario where large numbers of people would manage to stumble across my little corner of the internet.

I'm not planning on saying much about my personal life. Perhaps the broad strokes that will allow me to keep my anonymity. I've found that when one puts too much of their personal life out there, it tends to drown out anything else that they're trying to do.

So there you have it. My very first blog post, in my very first blog.

Woo hoo.
