So lately I've been thinking I really should go ahead and bite the bullet. I've been encouraged to start a blog numerous times yet that insatiable fear of obligation has held me back each and every time. In my mind I have a conversation with myself. (Note to self: mental instability might play a role in this...)
"Y'know, I probably really would enjoy writing a blog."
"But you *hate* writing papers!"
"Maybe that's just because I have to write about some contrived subject that I've had to spin in my own personal way despite the fact that I feel the exact same way about "the smell of fall" as 97% of the rest of the world. Maaaaaybe if I can just write what I want, when I want, maybe then I'll enjoy it."
"Nope. You'll still hate it. After the novelty wears off, you'll pick it up once every 4-5 months. But even then so much will have happened that you'll feel overwhelmed and just write about the small stuff only to feel like you've wasted an hour and half during each installment."
Well, today I say NAY! Not like a horse, although I can't lie and act like I've never done such in the privacy of my own daydream. But today (or tonight as it is currently almost 2am) I have decided to go ahead and start this thing. And what if it all falls apart and nothing comes of it? Meh, I gave it a shot.
