like anything it's small

Um so, I've never really had a desire to blog. The thought of having a blog always seemed so pretentious to me unless you had a good excuse like living in a fabulous foreign country (amy), or an art project (adam), or part of your business (my dad). . . I have none of those. However, I have in recent months been inspired by the pithy and entertaining blogs of several friends all like myself- sans a legitimate excuse to blog. Slowly I began creating a rational. . . it's a way for friends far and near to know what I'm up to and to comment on the various musings of my life. . . it's less tacky than sending out a mass email every now and again. . . I don't watch TV so why not blog (thanks kelly for that one). . . it's one more very viable way to procrastinate from doing my thesis. . . it's a way to share those bizarre things I happen upon from time to time with the world. The straw that finally broke the camels back? When I had to officially create a blog id so that I could post comments on a friends blog (thanks dainon). So here I am, sitting in my pajamas, listening to a tardy rooster crow and wondering who on earth will actually read this, and what on earth I will actually post. Perhaps I'm simply one step further along on the path of technological enshroudment and narcissism. Woot.
