The First Post- Why I Gave In

Ok well after months of hearing my sister in law talk about her blog and everyone else’s...and feeling like my family never includes me in any of the big family news (because apparently they ONLY post things on the blog now since apparently phones are things of the past) I decided why not...I'll give it a try!

One of my new year’s resolutions this year was to write in a journal. I have many reasons for this, none of which include the idea that people actually want to hear what I have to say. However, other reasons include the obvious of things like to keep journal of things I've done for posterity (now I'm back to assuming there will one day be people who want to hear what I have to say) and also to keep track of some of those crazy thoughts I have floating around inside of my head. And even now as I sit here typing away, every time I stop, I ask myself, "am I really doing this?" Yes, yes I am, and to simplify things, here is a list why:

1. New Year's Resolution to keep a journal
2. For posterity
3. Therapeutically- As I've learned in one of my recent psychology classes that keeping a journal (which in this day in age you might as well just call it a blog) is a very good psychological benefit
4. I have a lot of those random thoughts in my head that keep me entertained. But they are those sorta thoughts that no one else really cares to hear about...and I don't know where I'm going this...let's just call in nonsense
5. To write a book- One of my room mates has recently started blogging as well. He said that he did it because he one day wants to write a book and he was told one of the best ways to get ready to write a book is to start blogging. And it is one of my major goals in life to write a book (assuming that when that time comes I will actually have something worthwhile to share with the general population)
6. Maybe there will be some of those crazy people out there who will actually want to read what I have to say? Though I'm assuming that that list won't extend past family

So thus begins my adventure in blogging, we will see how long it lasts. And if you get bored after the first two sentences and leave to go read someone else's blog, I will not be offended. Unless it's someone's like Lindsay Lohan's or Tom Cruise's...then I'll be pissed...
