TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG: A QUESTION


I registered this blog over a year ago, and this is my "virgin" entry. Until today, all I have done was change the initial name from Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid (sounds too precious and pretentious to me now) to the current one. Why am I doing this at all, and why has it taken me so long? I believe this is a very good question. And the answer is simple and straightforward: I’m not sure that I philosophically believe in blogging. It would appear that just about everyone has their own, but I don’t find that most blogs impart much valuable information to others. In fact, you could make a pretty good argument that most people’s thoughts are best kept to themselves. So why should my blog be any different or any better? (Another very good question from me.) And if I am writing this strictly for myself as many bloggers claim, then why don’t I just save the text as a Word document and call it my electronic diary? (The good questions continue.) Well, I guess I must honestly believe that I have something to write that will be of interest to others. This statement is likely only semi-correct at best, and hopefully I am not beginning the slide down the slippery slope to egomaniacal self-absorption. Time will tell.

The answer to this question is YES! The world has been forever infected with the craziness of Cueball, and there must be additional characters just bustin' to come out and introduce themselves on the cyber-scene!

This is cool, my blog showed me you had written a post, so I came on over to check it out.
