Why? Why not?

Why in the world do we allow our friends and family to talk us into things like starting a blog? Do we really think what we have to say is so important that we must share it with the world?

When I was little and wanted to do something everyone else was doing my mother would respond with, "If everyone else is jumping into a pit of hungry alligators would you want to jump in too?" Makes about as much sense as, "Because I said so." Bottom line is that mom is the one in control and it wouldn't matter if she said, "Peanut butter." she was the boss and you probably wouldn't get to do what you wanted or you would have to yield to her rules.

So, I am joining the thousands -- millions? -- who are 'doing' the blog thing. At the very least it will be an outlet for my love of writing. At the best, it may even be clever, or informative, or thought provoking.

And, who says you have to have talent these days? Didn't William Hung put out a CD?
