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.

Blogging is therapeutic. You can write about anything and keep it as anonymous or not anonymous as you want.

Glad you started!
