A Whole New World

Blogging. When did it become such a phenomenon? I must have missed it. Unfortunately, I can no longer delay my involvement in the new world of blogging. So without further ado, I'm officially announcing my effort to become part of the blogging world. What does that make me? A blogger? I have a feeling this cyberspace sensation is one to stay and soon enough will affect more than Mormon newlyweds and media-hating, angry liberals. It caught up with me, which is just a small start. Well... let the fun begin

As I sit here and painfully type each word just hoping to compose the perfect first blog I'm not sure how long I'll last at this. I'll keep plugging away and see what happens. First, a couple thoughts on blogging.

1. I was certain that when I got a blog, I would make sure it didn't look like some scrapbook page out of Molly's best decorated collection. Looking at my template, you can see I was wrong. It looks like the Fall Fairy created it herself. Here's my reasons why I allowed myself to copy and paste it.
-I love fall. It's my favorite time of year, leaves changing and layered clothing. It's a reminder snowboarding is approaching with its white wonderland beauty as its shadow.
-I'm a sucker for argyle. It's pathetic, I know. It's out of control, I also know that too. I couldn't resist it, which just proves my lack of self control. Oh well. Funny thing is, I was watching a slide show of childhood pictures comprised and put to music and there I was, bleach blond hair and toothless in argyle. Time and time again. Basically, I'm blaming my parents for my devotion to those darling diamond configurations. I was impressionable at six, and haven't got over it.

2. I'm actually a little disappointed I got this started AFTER the election marathon. I vow I wouldn't have dedicated too many posts to presidential candidates, but unfortunately my lack of self control, as noted earlier, would've gotten the best of me and my fascination of Sarah Palin. And her hot husband. And pregnant daughter. And her hot fiance. See? It could've been a bad thing.

3. I've got a pretty routine life, what am I going to write about? Well... after my insanely intelligent friend, Alex, came up with my title it just came to me that I could write about my thoughts. Hopefully they're not too dull for my audience. Don't worry though, through all my journalism classes they emphasized writing for your audience. I'll keep that in mind, promise.


OK. I thought I had a lot more thoughts about blogging, but I really don't. This is my debut into the whole new world of online diaries, as Mr. Webster himself calls them. I'm really doubting this will happen to me but....funny nonetheless. Especially since I associate with criminals daily and even visit my favorite drug addicts and former "women of the night" in jail. Regularly. Weird?
