The Blog That Started It All

Blogging.  It seems the entire planet has been blogging for years now and I’ve yet to catch up.  Many tell me that to blog is to admit your true emotions out loud (or in type); something that supposedly is quite liberating.  My response:  So why not just make an appointment with a shrink?   

My take on this whole phenomenon is that blogging is equivalent to adolescent diary writing which is equivalent to a grown up girls nights that start with a bottle of wine, or four, a pint of Ben & Jerry’s  and ends with man bashing. This, in return, is equivalent to venting to a complete stranger who now holds a piece of paper that he or she paid entirely too much for at a University which inevitably was the best four year party of their life. You are now being charged entirely too much to have someone “listen” and whom does a mediocre job at pretending to care just so you continue coming back and pay an endless amount of money to help them pay off their gigantic loan for the four year kegger.    On that note, here’s to blogging!

So how exactly do you start off your blog?  Do you go with the old, yet comforting, “Dear Diary” or would the politically correct term be “Dear Blog?”  And is this something that should be done daily in which I spew all of my deepest darkest secrets to the cyber world in hopes that someone can shed some light on my “earth shattering” dilemmas?  Or, rather, should it be something “meaningful” or “insightful” as to my views and opinions on worldly issues?  Are there rules to “blogging?” What about blogging etiquette?   Maybe, rather than starting a blog, I should start a book or website on how to blog or do they offer classes for this!?  (Is everyone’s first time blogging this overwhelming or is it just me?)

Well, here goes nothing-I’ve officially entered the world of blogging and already it’s proving to be quite the adventure.  I guess my promise to the cyber world is that I will do my best not to let my views and/or opinions get to deep or boring and I will do all I can to keep my “man bashing” to a minimum!  Let the blogging begin!
