Ok, so as anyone who knows me knows that I'm on Facebook practically all day. Not continuously in front of my computer but active enough where anyone who sees my page can pretty much know what's going on with me that day and/or know what's on my mind. Well one night out I was talking to my brother and his partner about how active I am on Facebook, talking about what I'm doing, what I'm cooking, what I'm thinking. Even use it as a tool to critique foods, restaurants, movies, etc. They suggested I start blogging. Yeah sure, let me do what a lot of people are doing and have my words get lost in a sea of opinions that are out there. But as time went on, I thought about it and realized, you know, that's not a bad idea. I mean, I'm doing it anyway on Facebook, why not put it in a more appropriate forum.
This seems like a better idea only because this way anyone who wants to read what I really want to say can do so by their own choice and at their leisure. As much as I want everyone to know what's on my mind, I don't want to be one of those people who will force my opinion down someone's throat by making it public on the wall of a social network site. I love hearing and reading the criticism and opinions that people have regarding what I have to say. I just want to make sure that what they have to share actually has some thought put behind it and is not merely the result of some spontaneous reaction due to a red button that I may have pushed in them. I learned a long time ago that a decision or an opinion is not a bad one so long as you have reason behind it.
So I'm gonna see what blogging is going to do for me. I make keep at this for awhile, I may stop early. All I know is that I am going to keep it diverse and interesting. I love food; I love entertainment; and I love pushing buttons and asking the questions that most everyone is too chicken shit to put on the table. Most of all, I like to make people think without so much as expecting a response in return. So there's always gonna be something that will attract someone out there to read what I post. Let's just see where this goes.
