So, I have started a blog.

I wonder why, but I also know why. I've always had fantasies of blogging... obviously I need to get out more... but I always doubted my abilities to consistently blog. I'm not a big talker. I'm not comfortable running a LiveJournal type existence. I'm far too worried that my blogging won't live up to my potential. I am far too guarded to let you people in to my world. I'm afraid I won't be funny enough. I worry about my grammar (thank god for those little red squiggly lines).

For some time now I have struggled with the social aspect of the internets, balancing halfway between resentment and addiction. Having a presence on the 'net runs the risk of ego propping and and a narcissistic existence. But I do have something to say. I am an insatiable commenter, often getting into debates. This is not a good thing, I really need to channel it into something more... productive? positive?... something more not like that.

So, I start my first entry with some trepidation. I hope that you, dear reader, will stay with me. I want to blog daily, I promise not to argue and I will brush my teeth before typing one word.
