Start of the Beginning

7/8/11
So. Blogging. I'm a blogger. I got to tell you, it's not much different than writing in my journal or on my word doc. (which is both unnerving and upsetting if you think about it considering my journal is less than public domain). But it took me like 71 hours to set this up so by golly I'm going to write in it. But that's the thing. I say it's nerve wracking, and I say it's weird, but really....who will see this? One ....maaaaybe two poor souls? Am I just going to be rambling to the wide open spaces of Onlinedom? Part of me hopes not.
I hope someone sees this.
sigh.
I sincerely hope that all bloggers have troubles with their first posts. That raises another question. What is this going to be about? As much as I'd love to share my epic and exciting life (false, I do not have a life, nor would it be epic even were I to get one.) I don't really think that's what blogging is about. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure some people could pull off the 'I'm blogging today about how I sky dived (sky dove?) in Mexico then climbed a live volcano and then met Bill Gates for brunch kind of day.'  But we hate those kinds of people don’t we. Yes, yes we do. Plus I’m sure Bill Gates would not brunch in Mexico….so ha! Off roading. Dang.
But what was I saying? And how did Bill Gates enter my post. Bah. Out. This blog is about me! Stalling? Yes I am.
Ok. Here is the thing. I used to make fun of bloggers. Truly. I thought bloggers were a bunch of geeks that got online to share their latest Star Trek knowledge with a bunch of similar minded nerds. It isn’t relevant that I am a huge nerd…and also like Star Trek. If I ever start to talk about Captain Kirk someone please verbally punch me. Still stalling. I guess I want this blog to answer some questions I have and maybe people will ask some of their own? Because isn’t that what life is? Discovery? Several good friends told me that I should blog about story ideas as well so I might do a bit of that.  Maybe I’ll start….hopefully my question won’t come bouncing back to me like echoes in an empty room. Please someone answer. I’ll take anything. Yes, even you Mr. Gates.
So come you writers, you geeks and you searchers…
What do people think of the concept of Mind control? BAM. There it is. I’ve asked it. You’re probably underwhelmed.  But really. I was just thinking about it. It’s a fascinating concept that demands a closer scrutiny. I know it’s kind of a cheesy idea. But the possibilities are literally, endless. I think it’s a workable idea. What is your take on it?
I think I’m done. First blog. I don’t feel no different. I’ll try again tomorrow. Good night.
