a start.

Basically I just wanted a blog because my two best friends have one and I didn't want to be left out.

I also need practice writing, but in a way where I won't feel so self conscious (which is what always happens when I attempt to write anything "real" because I'm a critic before I'm a creator) and in my opinion a blog is like writing-lite. It doesn't have to be important or elucidating all though I'd guess that accidently happens more often than not.

My main critique of blogs is the same of journals: they are usually quite boring. And to be honest, I find my current life to fall under the category of "fairly mundane." However, I think a good story has less to do with the plot and more to do with the manner of telling. I hope to release a few good stories, a few musings about concepts, and a few sociological observations....to let the harsh critic in me take a rest...
