I wonder what the attraction is. Actually I know what the attraction is; we are voyeurs. I have been meaning to set up a blog and start writing for some time now, and tonight I finally did it. The plan was to set up my blog, write my first post, shower, and go to bed at a reasonable time. As I have hit my mid 40's I define a reasonable bedtime rather narrowly, usually before the 10 o'clock news is over. But here I am after 11:00 p.m. and just now typing. What happened?
Blogs happened. Occasionally I would have a friend or colleague ask me to check out their blog, and I would. But most likely that would be the end of it. I would read a few posts, maybe add a comment, but that was as far as it went. I didn't troll the site reading all the other blogs and posts, peeping through their electronic window trying to 'see what's in there.' I was afraid I was going to feel like a little kid reading his big sister's diary...you know it's wrong but it's just sitting right there. If she didn't want me to read it, she wouldn't have left it where I could find it. So what if it was in her top left drawer under her bras? She still shouldn't have left it where I could find it!
Anyway, tonight I have to admit that I was a voyeur. I spent WAAYYYY too much time reading other folks blogs and not creating mine. Am I the only one who has done this? Have I just graduated from tire kicker to cyber stalker?
Well, here I am. This is my first blog and my first post. Feel free to peek in my window and have a look. I don't know where this blog will go, but I am hoping you will find it interesting, thought provoking, and maybe even a little humorous.
