To Blog or Not To Blog...

That is the question! It is a question that has captured my attention enough to make me do something about it and hey, that's a big deal.

Reasons that I have had NOT to blog:
1. Is it really worth it? I mean, what does it accomplish putting your senseless thoughts out on the Internet for the world to read?
2. I have no intention to share my life story or my deepest and darkest secrets on the world wide web...that's what a journal is for. Besides, I have trust issues with actually writing things where other people could see them, but I digress! Anyway, that's also part of the "deepest and darkest secrets" that I am NOT sharing :)
3. Audience - so obviously if I am blogging for me, then I may as well just write in a journal. If I am blogging for others that changes the language and the writing style, but how more or less the only conversation I am having is between me and my keyboard and screen and unfortunately they don't talk back.

Reasons I have TO blog:
1. There is a vast, staggering range of things that go on in my little head every day.
2. Maybe someone can benefit from the things I have to say? (I won't hold my breath for this considering the limitation of content due to Reason Not To Blog #2 - see above).
3. Sheer entertainment.

Well that's it. And it came to pass that I started blogging.

DISCLAIMER: No expectations allowed.
