I am kind of curious about this blogging thing - not sure yet if I'll like it. I have always enjoyed creative writing, but never thought I'd be joining the ranks of all you dilligent authors. In fact I'll admit that before yesterday I was numbered among the prideful disbelievers, not willing to unite with the faithful bloggers who so selflessly share their thoughts with the world. Yet deep down, I have always secretly enjoyed reading up on others' small feats and adventures, current relationship status, and latest philosophical trains of thought. How selfish it has been to read your trivial tales of humorous goings-on while keeping my own so secretly filed away. So what finally converted me, you might ask? Well I won't go so far as to say I'm converted. I'm no born again blogger and I still have my doubts. But I'm giving it a shot. Honestly the only thing that got me started is my MCom 320 class. A weekly post is part of my grade. Although starting out I am somewhat skeptical, the wise counsel of Sam-I-Am comes to mind: "You may not like it, so you say. Try it. Try it and you may. Try it and you may, I say."
