A new experience: don't you dare say I told you so...

It appears technology is getting the best of me. I told family many months ago that I would never get a facebook account. Well, that was short lived. I have enjoyed having a facebook account and staying connected and reconnecting with family and friends. It has been good for me.

Blogging, on the other hand, was something I hadn't given much thought to. I had seen a few friends and family who blogged, and I knew in the world of cyberspace there were millions of bloggers, but it wasn't something I had considered for myself. I consider myself a very outspoken individual when pertaining to matter of importance (and some not so), and if you ask my opinion, be prepared to receive it. I write papers for school all the time for a grade. I've attempted to keep a journal of my thoughts but never stuck too it for long periods of time. I've written short stories and even poems. A lot of what I've written over the years, whether for pleasure or for assignments, have been read. So it's not the fear of people reading what I have to say that prevented me from doing something I would enjoy.

It was myself... that is one of the worse revelations a person can have. When you realize that you are holding yourself back. Sure with blogging it isn't a big deal, but what about other matters? School, family, and life in general. I don't want to prevent myself from doing things I would enjoy, no matter how big or small the feat is...

So off my tangent. I'm going to give this blogging a shot. I forgot how liberating it is to write what is on your mind or how you feel. I cannot promise for the probably few who may read this that it will be masterful or awe inspiring. There will be grammatical errors and spelling mistakes that I miss. I will probably switch from past tensed to present tense without notice. Hopefully there will always be subject verb agreement so I don't put all my previous English teachers to shame.

More importantly I hope the content will be decent. And if not, I probably still enjoyed writing it. Be prepared for me getting on a soap box when something bothers me or just random thoughts. Hopefully I won't offend anyone, unless you needed to be offended...

Thanks to my cousin for inspiring me to do this, even though you didn't know you did...

Until I find more time...
