According to the 5th annual State of the Blogosphere report conducted by Technorati in 2008 there were 133 million total blogs indexed since 2002. Today I am adding to this number, thus becoming another statistic. Blogging was something I never considered doing; to me it seemed a pointless gesture made by those seeking the lime light, frantically waving their arms in the air hoping to get some attention. My view changed however, when a friend told me that she would be starting a blog. I wanted to support her, so I checked it out; I was impressed. Curious (I'm always curious), I started to read other blogs and some of them confirmed my suspicions, making me wonder why someone would want to read about how the most exciting event in the day of a complete stranger was them brushing their teeth, but others surprised me. They surprised me so much that I decided to start a completely pointless blog of my own. I am not claiming that I will say anything profound in this blog. I am not claiming that my grammer will be proper. I am not on the road to self discovery nor am I looking for fame. Yes, I would like it if someone read this blog and paired their thoughts with mine, but at the heart of it my reasoning for starting this blog is that I think it will be fun. Pure and simple. Who knows what will come out of it? So here I am, jumping on the blogging bandwagon. Glad you could come along for the ride.
