And here we go...

You know, I never understood blogging.  I mean really... Isn't it a bit egotistic to think that one's musings and observations about life are interesting enough that a portion of the general public would be interested in it?  I mean, really.

I can understand reporters, politicians, scientists, heck even actors, blogging and people wanting to read it.  It's a glimpse of their thoughts about what they're doing, what they're experiencing.  It would be exotic, different, new... in short - INTERESTING!!!  But John and Jane Q. Public?  Really?


"Today, I fed my cat.  It's cold outside.  And you know, I hate those fat cat politicians in DC!!!  Blah blah blah..."

I think most people have this delusion that when they start a blog, people will care enough to read about it.  I mean, besides their family and friends.  If even.  It's like athletes and actors.  Not everyone who bounces a basketball will be good at it, and not everyone who's good at it will become pro.  It's like 1% of the 10% who are good will become pro.  Not everyone who writes a blog will have a sizable following who cares.

So, I bet you're asking why I'm blogging?

It's for class...
