A welcome and a gentle warning

What made me finally start blogging? I'm not really sure. Because everyone else is doing it? Probably not since that's not my style. Because I find a few of my friend's blogs a fascinating view into their lives, especially when we don't touch in person very often? Quite likely. I'll admit I'm a bit nervous as many people are when they remove the safety laden shell that surrounds them. I tend to be, ummm--how shall we say it, overly honest. Unfortunately for those that know me that doesn't just include my opinions of others, but my willingness to share of myself as well. I guess this should be a warning then that some of those choosing to read this may learn things about me that surprise or disappoint them. Some of these things likely disappoint me as well, but as with all things I have done, I own them. I am who I am and, while I attempt to seek a better future, I have given up the empty hope of changing the past. So there it is then. On into the darkness with me if you choose to follow. As they (and just who are they in this case?) say, enter at your own risk.

Welcome to the blog world. I only joined LJ to read and comment on Twila's entries. I never expected to actually post.

You are now on my RSS reader. I wish you had picked LJ so I could friend you, but such is life...

Thank you for the kind welcome. I debated for a moment between LJ and BS since I have friends on both. More out of the impatient decision of an overtired mind I ended up here. I definitely expect to post. Expecting anyone to read? That's an entirely different question.

Glad to see you've joined the huddled masses (huddled over our keyboards, that is!).

Keep it real, bro - always a good plan. I've never had to doubt your authenticity, eh?

I've never been one to shy away from the truth. That said, how much of the truth has been shared has varied based on the medium and the audience.

And as for huddling--I would prefer that be in the context of U-M football games, but that didn't work out so well for us this week.
