First and Foremost....

I am a blogger hater.

Well, I think bloggers who disclose things about their personal lives in detail to strangers are silly. I guess I worry about cyber-stalkers and people I really don't like/know being informed about my personal life. Although I appreciate bloggers who provide insight on various topics without preaching. Go ahead and tell me why Jesus Christ/Alah/Buddah is awesome...just don't try to convert me or tell me that I'm a bad person for not being on that team or bash someone else's team. It's like my philosophy on sports, root for your team, but don't boo mine.

When I think about blogging, I wonder what its benefits can be and see that there are many. Then I ponder that I say that I'm a blogger hater, say I don't like people who "boo my team" and see how that is contradictory. So this is why I am going to start trying to be more consistent in my beliefs and play well with others...by blogging to be consistent in my beliefs and actions.

Things that I will warn people about:

1) As I am TRYING to become more consistent in my life, I will falter. There will be plenty of goof ups where I will say one thing in one blog and then make you question my credibility in the second. I'm not a politician...I do not have a team of people teaching me to be consistent. I will try to do so on my own. Help me.

2) I am judgmental. I am trying to do better, but there will be times I will judge you. Don't take it seriously. I don't even know you. I will try to eliminate this horrid trait of mine.

3) Since I am attempting to reform my blogger hating past, it will take me some time to take this seriously. I will probably be watching television, surfing the web, be at work during a meeting at the same time as I attempt to type fairly intelligent, interesting post. I will also fail many times since I will be watching The Daily Show or some football game while I type at the same time (I'm watching College GameDay as I type this one).

4) I will probably type something unbelieveably awesome and then somehow find a way to delete it and attempt to type that masterpiece again (probably because I'm not taking it seriously and am doing 10 things at once)...but do a half-ass job in doing so. I will frustrate myself to no avail that I did such a bonehead thing as to erase such a prolific piece of mental gymnastics that I will do a horrid job in the second attempt and post it regardless. (Let's just go ahead and assume I do this most of the time).

Okay...so that's it! Let's see how this bad boy goes! Wish me luck.
