To Blog or Not To Blog... that is the question
Well, I've said I'm going to do this for a long time, and I guess a long time has actually passed. I've been told that I should write a blog by hundreds (okay just 2...people, not 200.) I guess my biggest issue with starting one, was what do I blog about? Do I talk about my political views? Do I talk about what makes me angry? Do I offer solutions with what's wrong with the world and the umpteen subcategories that entails? Do I write a food blog with the best and worst and everywhere in between experiences I've had? Do I talk about the trials and tribulations of trying to raise 3 kids in the "Information Age?" Do I write about how being a kind soul is it's own reward, and paying forward shouldn't be an idea, it should be a law? Or do I talk about how I drive my wife crazy, and how for the life of me I can't believe I got so lucky that she would stick around for 20 years, and put up with me? Maybe I should blog about soccer? The teams I coach, what I think about certain topics, what's wrong with the game, and what's right? So you see there are numerous things running through my head all at the same time... so which one do I choose? I wrestled with this over and over again. Thinking to myself "Self... and my self not knowing who I was said "Huh?""... so I finally think I figured out what I want to blog about... all of it. So if you're still reading this now, I guess I should go ahead and tell everyone up front. These are my opinions, if you don't care, don't read them, if you do read , them and you disagree, cool. If you agree, that's cool too. If what I say makes you think about your stance, or at least encourages discourse, then hey that's gravy... and who doesn't love gravy... and bacon... that's a great combination right there. Now I can't promise that I won't go off in tangents during my entries. My days of writing in logical order are long gone. I'm not being graded on this, so my style isn't going to win an Pulitzer prizes, and I will not apologize for spelling errors.... not my fault technology doesn't understand what I'm trying to say! I can't promises everything I write will be lighthearted and funny. There are some topics I hold near and dear to my heart, and I may talk about those every now and then. I can't tell you I'm going to blog every day, it may be once a week, maybe once a month, depends on the demands of life, and whether I have anything to say. So let's make a deal, if you want to stick around and read my blog, thanks! If you don't then just think that's 5 to 10 minutes of your life you won't be losing. So if you're still with me.... the Captain has turned on the seat belt sign, so place your chair backs and trays in the upright position and hang on for a ride :)
