Wow. How completely narcissistic of me to create a web log for myself, about myself, name it after myself, and host it on a domain bearing my name. It's probably even more narcissistic of me to use a big word like narcissistic in the first sentence of my first entry.

I used to have another blog that turned into an exercise blog last summer. I've decided to keep it and create this blog to post my musings, rantings, rambling and writings. Why? Well, I just might be narcissistic egocentric enough to think that you might enjoy it. I might actually think enough of myself to believe that I have something so earth-shatteringly important to say that it needs to be said on the Internet so that all will read it and will see how incredibly witty and eloquent I am.

Ok, so maybe not.

More than likely, this will become a blog like so many other blogs on the Internet that are read infrequently by friends and family. Most often, blogs are full of inane drivel that doesn't amount to much. Most often, they are ignored by the masses and cherished by the few that know and love the writer. Yet once in a while, they will contain that rare nugget of wisdom or insight that becomes a window to the writer's soul through which the reader will gain a better understanding of the writer's personality, intellect, passion, or belief.

Why start again today? Do I have something profound to say? No.

Last night, a friend suggested that I should start writing in my blog again and it got me thinking. I don't write as much as I used to. Once in a while, I have a burst of creativity that can only come out in writing. It's never enough for a novel, or even a short story, for that matter. I decided to take the suggestion and start blogging again. I'm sure I'll fill this with much inane drivel, but hopefully, through the process of writing something--anything--the rare creative moment will manifest itself and something here will be worth reading.
