Everyone else was doing it

So, blogging, huh? Well, why I do love the feel of paper in my hand and I am a girl who loathes to travel anywhere without my pencil (just in case), I thought I'd give it a try. Mostly because everyone else seems to be doing it.
This does not mean I am a fan of mob mentality or peer pressure. I think we can all admit that doing something just because everyone else is doing it can lead to some very disastrous results. I'm thinking Kool Aid and a field, you catch my drift?
But there is also something to be said for learning from the behavior of others. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or whatever. And so , my friends, allow me to flatter you. I have read your blogs, I have responded with the occasional comment but I have always hesitated before recording my own thoughts. And this is not merely to avoid the mockery to which these blog pages leave one vulnerable, no sir. It is because I am flawed.
I have a lot to say, on this we can all agree, and I do so on occasion. But speaking my opinions aloud means I can avoid the spelling and grammar mishaps that will inevitably occur when I write or, to use the cool new verb, 'blog'. I am not the best at grammar or spelling and I'd like to care more, but frankly I don't. So expect mistakes. There will be many. But if you can get past the dangling participles and the typos maybe there will be something worth reading. Maybe not.
We'll see.
