Hello world!

I’ve been contemplating starting a blog for the longest….finally! where to begin? You’d think that with all the time I’ve had delving into other folks blogs, I’d have something really profound to say…well..still grasping at straws.  Where to begin…why blog? and why blog now? I’ve always kept a journal since I was maybe 10.  It’s always given me an outlet for my thoughts, feelings etc.  I figure an electronic journal works the same way.  it definitely gives me flexibility, cuz i can jot down what I really feel at a moment’s notice (as opposed to waiting till I can unearth my journal).  Besides, I have a morbid fear that one day (when I run for office- as if!) the information in my journal could be used against me.  Well, here’s to my first post…and hopefully many more to come. Cheers!
