Let's see how this new thing works out.

So, I'm debating whether or not I want my first entry in the blogging world to mirror every other "first blog" that I've encountered. You know the dilemma...whether or not to include the usual disclaimer of.."I never thought I'd do this" or "I finally gave in..so here goes.."? ...and after much deliberation(about 15 seconds) I have decided to set all disclaimers aside. Mostly because they don't apply and also because part of me wishes they did. Better to avoid it all together.

My life sometimes feels like a never ending list of things to do. Starting a blog was added to the list a good 4 years ago. It's rather pathetic really that it's taken me this long to work my way down my list. That's either a reflection of how many things I add to my list each day or how long it takes me to cross even the smallest item completely off of it. Both lines of reasoning I'm afraid don't bode well for my coping skills...yes, I meant to say 'coping' skills.

Nevertheless, my mind found this little item on its life list. So here I go.

It would also be pertinent to point out that I can have a tendancy to begin certain tasks with an overabundance of enthusiasm and passion...only to find out that passion and charisma fade over time because I was merely just trying to get something "done"---or "crossed off of my list".

So please, don't read passion and/or charisma into this blog---at least not early on. That would be a grave error and could be the end of me....well to my blogging career anyway. So, I will start out slowly...and briefly. It might even be a boring read for quite a while...but do not be fooled. The boredom will not be due to my lack of talent, wit or creative ability to capture your mind with my clever words. It will be due to the fact that I want to find myself blogging again this time next year with ever more clarity of mind and brilliance of verbiage.


So I guess we'll see if I can't cross this one off my list and move on to re-organizing my closet (no rush).


***Crap. After reading through my first post---I am sad to note that half of it is really just a giant disclaimer (which I thought for sure I had taken out of play when I began to type this) in vain hope that no one judges my attempt at sharing my innermost thoughts online---and that it might not be compared to any of the other fine specimens of blogging that I have come across in the last four years.
