Well, Here I Am

I remember when I first heard the word “blog.” I was 12 years old watching TV in the kitchen (as one does), and heard it spoken by a reporter desperately trying to fill time between events at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.

I thought it was a really dumb word.

That being said, here I am 14 years later, officially stepping into the vaunted “blogosphere” (also an incredibly dumb word). For the most part, this is happening because every now and then, I’ll have a thought or two that take a few more words to explain than Twitter’s character limit or the attention span of the average Facebook user will allow. This is where those thoughts will live. As such, there likely won’t be much of a connecting thread between posts. Some may be lengthy “rants” about political or social issues, while others may be movie reviews, and still others light-hearted anecdotes. Basically, if I don’t want to bother my wife by jabbering incessantly about something in particular, it’ll probably show up here.

That’s really all you need to know. The first few posts will be kind of a backlog of some of my longer Facebook statuses from recently; beyond that, I guess we’ll see. Now, on to the jabbering!
