The Blog Begins

So, I finally decided to get a Blog. I've always had thoughts and feelings that I've wanted to express, aloud or in writing, but I've never had a good forum or venue in which to do it. And I'm not exactly Mr. Extrovert, either. So I thought I'd give the whole "Blog" thing a try. Not that I have any idea what I'm doing, but hey, I'll figure it out.

I'm kind of hoping this Blog will sort of "fly below the radar". I think that's how a lot of people feel about their Blogs. It's kind of funny...we make Blogs so others can read them, but sometimes we don't want lots of people reading them. Or just certain people we don't want (and just who that is often changes). I guess I'll just have to be a little vague & ambiguous in certain posts, but that pretty much sounds like most blogs I've read ;)

Most of my posts will probably be kind of dispirited or agitated in nature. When things are going well, I don't really feel the need to express it. It's when I'm stressed, frustrated, depressed, or discouraged that I get all pent-up & angsty. Angst. I like that word...angst... Hopefully my Blog won't make me seem too cynical or "Emo". I'm just jaded with a lot of things, and tired of other people's expectations.
