My First Blog

To me the title sounds funny its like saying this is something that I'm trying for the first time. Now I've had the Xanga and posted notes in Facebook, but this is the first time that I'm writing on an official blog that other people can easily access. For me this is a place to have an internal dialogue that others can be a third party to (Like an observer in my head). It's also like a diary for me log my thoughts into. Why did I decide to finally blog? I've heard so much about this and never once had the urge to start one. To me it seemed like something that people who drink non-fat soy lattes do in Starbucks to look cool. Truthfully I just never thought that putting something down in writing online was worth my time, but here I am typing away and listening to my techno mix from youtube. In reality going online is something that I do everyday now, like brushing my teeth and eating. Its something that is such an integral part of me and I feel that I should leave part of me with it. But in all honesty I did this because of two things: First because I was reading my cousin's blog and thought that it would be cool to do something like this and Secondly because of something that she said to me; it was the comment "gee you sound old and wise now" with those key strokes she sparked the urge to blog in me. This will not only let others peer into my thoughts, but also let me reflect back on my past thoughts. If I had started blogging lets say 3 years ago, my thoughts and reflections here would not be even close to the caliber that it is today. This is a capsule in which I will leave a transcript of thoughts and this capsule will let me look back 3/5/10 years from now and say gee what an idiot I was at that age. With that thought I would like to say this to my cousin "Thank you".
