Thoughts on blogging

Ok... so there are millions of blogs out there and no one reads most of them. I get that, and I expect that most people won't read mine either. I've played with blogs before (see www.xanga.com/mbdil for some old stuff) and found that I got stymied trying to put up quality posts. The desire to do it well tended to get in the way of doing it at all. I'd put it off and never post. The best way to break this habit seems to be to break my addiction to quality and to join thousands of others and be willing to just say whatever.

So.... the plan with this blog is to be more general -- to let it serve as my own personal notes on life that may or may not be interesting to someone else. Just to stay in the habit, I may occasionally post on stuff that nobody at all cares about, including myself. Like - "That last burger from Wendy's was actually pretty satisfying." I offer my apologies in advance to people who try to wade through my posts looking for the occasional diamond in the rough.
