Creeping into the 21st century

Blogs.
Who knew that people would be so interested in the ramblings of others? I didn't. I still don't. But I cannot avoid the future any longer; technology's curled finger beckons and I must respond. I'm a writer by design and an editor by necessity who spends 10 hours a day reinvigorating someone else's marginal creativity while denying my own.
Once upon a time I wrote a column in a magazine called Noise in My Head. It was filled with useless musings, opinions, memories, meandering thoughts--a true homage to self-absorption. But here's the weird thing: people liked it! Go figure. Maybe it's that kind of literary voyeurism that makes blogs so popular. In the spirit of reinvention and a nod to cyber expressionism, I'm going to give this a shot. Kind of like a journal, only different.
