My first official blog...

First off, I have a confession: I've never blogged before. I'm a virgin blogger. I guess I just never really understood the whole idea behind blogging. I'm a fairly simple guy—not an idiot, mind you—just a little naive sometimes. I'd always presumed that blogs were for stuffy individuals who were full of themselves and assumed everyone would scramble to read their latest posting. But I've been following a friend's blog for several months now, and I think I finally get it. It's not about that at all. It's sharing your life, your opinions, your good times, and your bad. And maybe reading about your experiences will help someone else. Most of all, it's a great outlet for those of us who love to write but don't have a literary agent in our contacts list. So, with that said, I hope you'll enjoy reading. And if you do, let me know so I know you're out there. Later, all...
