I was one of those people who did not want to do the blogging thing because everyone was doing it. It was a watered-down medium from the start, and my perception was that most bloggers were young narcissists with very little to contribute to the printed word beside their teen angst or college philosophizing on grandiose themes like what is the reason for the universe and hey did you know that if you start Dark Side of the Moon during the second lion roar before The Wizard of Oz...
I did enough of that in my head; I certainly did not want to read anyone else's thoughts on such subjects.
It turns out there's no substitute for the filter that is life experience, and I now have a little. Still, readership is unlikely in the ultra-competitive blogosphere, especially among the political know-it-alls, so this will probably not be much different than when I was in high school or college thinking frivolous thoughts in the privacy of my own mind.
One more quick thing: I am not detail oriented. As much as I try to review what I write I still make silly errors like missed words (had one already in the first post) and typos. There might be a spellcheck on this thing but I doubt I'll use it.
Now on to the meat!
