What is a blog anyway? I know its a contraction of "web log", but I'm not sure on the purpose of writing this log on the web. I'm not sure what other people use it for because I don't subscribe to or read blogs regularly. Don't get me wrong, its not like I've never encountered a blog post. I've read some poker players blogs because I was interested in learning poker, but other than that I have no model for blogging. So off I go in to the blogging abyss armed only with my wit and my pen(keyboard, but you know what I mean).
That being said, I'm starting a blog for the purpose of exercising my writing muscle and indulging my curiosity. I hope to entertain and inform with my posts. In the end, I have to admit, the purpose of writing this blog is to keep me engaged and excited. I'm finding the glow of my spirit fading and I feel writing will stoke the fires of my passion. And, it beats the hell out of daytime TV. hehe
