First blog EVER...Captivated aren't you!!!

I must be feeling a little bold this week because not only is this my first blog, I just started exploring the blogosphere (I believe is the proper term?) this week. I have mixed expectations & feelings regarding this enterprise...I am a tad scared that someone will actually read this and also that no one will (original, huh).

I am excited at the prospect of exploring my thoughts and feelings a bit more openly, i.e. the world can read about i, but still fairly anonomously.

A few concerns come to mind...
a. I am not a big fan/used to spellchecking myself or sensoring myself much before I speak (write), therefore am opening myself (rather bravely, I might add) to the ridicule of grammar nuts
b. what on earth am I going to talk about that others are not already doing do death?

I think the answer that is fairly obvious... from what I have already noticed at this advanced age...everything I think or feel is being felt or thought of 10 to the 30th power over. Thats ok, I think I will forge ahead anyway.

Have you noticed I use ... when I am not sure how to grammaticly structure my sentences? I did, but I like them...

Welcome to the blogosphere! Grab a drink, pull up a chair and get comfy!

Even if what you feel and go through has already been felt and gone through, you story will be different because it comes from your perspective. I can't wait to read. Plus, part of what I love about other blogs is reading and feeling a connection because I FEEL THAT/HAVE DONE THAT TOO!

As for ... I personally am a big fan of the ellipse. And this isn't an english paper--it's basically an online journal (weblog), right? So no one is going to correct your grammar or spelling. If they try, I will crack down on them and see how they like it!
