Hey, you

Yeah you. Out there. That's right, I'm talking to you.

Come to think of it, blogging must be one of the most narcissistic activities someone could undertake. With few exceptions most people write about themselves. Sure there are blogs about gardening, cooking, books, astronomy, and a lot of other topics, mostly they're written in the first person. One person writing about their own experiences, tastes, etc. Nothing wrong with that. Some people are really interesting, others not so much. But I wonder, why would anyone want to read about all the stuff that makes its way here at least?

One of the reasons I started this blog was I wanted to know what other people were thinking. Strange eh? Because I could simply read your blog and I do. I think I wanted to put my perspective out there and see what came back. It was also a way to write and maybe to connect with a few like souls out there on the world wide web. That would be you. Because if you read my blog, which is essentially about the way I see the world, admittedly on a lot of caffeine, it means that you have found something you like. Good. Some of you even take the time to post comments. They're all appreciated, really.

This blog has helped me to find my voice again, connect with my family and friends. Not everything makes it here, some things should always be private, once you remember that, blogging can open up a whole world. Wow.
