Hey, so I decided to join the blogging business. Well, it's not really a business, but it is certainly pretty popular amoung the kids these days. But seriously, I know a couple people who have blogs and Andrew told me I should start one too, so here I am!
To draw a little from my own experiences, as of late, I would like to talk about a little thing called COMMUNICATION. It is amazing to me that in this world of telephones, cellphones, texting, e-mail, social websites, etc. that a simple thing called communication is so hard to come by!Wait, what?
Yes, you heard me. Why is it hard to "Tell it like it is" to somebody? Why when somebody is being a jerk you can't just go up and say, "Hey! Quit being a jerk, ya jerk!" Why is it so hard to say what is really on your mind?
Ok, so I know that there has to be a certain amount of self-censorship when you're out in the public eye. I certainly couldn't expect to keep my job if I told some mothers that they are letting their teenage daughters dress like hookers. And I suppose it is a good thing that there are laws against yelling out profanities and stuff like that.
I guess what I'm really asking is why I have such a hard time communicating with people? Why can't I tell someone they've hurt my feelings without feeling horrible myself? Why do I speak epistles in my head but only blurt out randomness?
Hmmmm, perhaps blogging will help solve these problems. One can never tell.

YES! This makes three of us now. I have already prodded Vince over facebook to get a blog. Hopefully he will follow suit.
I like your point about technoology. We have become so advanced with communications technology and yet... why do we still have wars? Why are so many people still horrible at communicating? Joss Whedon was right when he made Firefly. His point: technology may improve, but it will not improve the human race along with it. We are pretty lame.
HELLOOOO!!! I'm glad to see you've started a blog! I've got a blog as well, and now we can be blog buddies!!!
