My Foray into Blogging

Based on the advice of a friend, and inspiration from another, I ve decided to start a blog.

Now, mind you, I have no clear idea of what goes into maintaining a blog, or whether I have anything of substantial importance to write, in order to sustain one. After all, I have no clear career or profession to base it on, and as my family and friends will vouch, while I enjoy a good debate on society, marriage, sex, relationships, women, equality, divorce etc every once in a while, I feel no great compulsion to base my blog on any of these.

So, like many other first time bloggers I assume, my blog will be one of no aim or direction, but hopefully not one without substance.

I am hoping to approach this from a Carrie Bradshaw perspective. One where I'll start my morning staring out my window with a steaming cup of tea and suddenly inspiration strikes in the form of a deep, intuitive, hitherto unanswered question.. which will unleash great thoughts of monumental importance, sparking debates and challenging long ago cemented ideas.

However, if by any chance this is not meant to be, I may have to resort to talking about myself - My trials, my tribulations and (heaven forbid) my secrets.
For those of you rolling your eyes, while I realize that my secrets are of no great importance to anyone but me, I say (with a sniff and slight disdain), 'but who doesn't love a good secret every once in a while?'

But I ask of my readers the utmost discretion and minimum judgement, whatever be it that I may write in this blog.
However, as the majority of my readers will probably be Mal, my cynical mind says that may be a little much to ask. But I beg of you, hold off those rosaries, for I believe time will tell, I'm really not all that bad.

I once said to a friend that a blog is at best, a pathetic excuse to be self indulgent. But writing this, I ve discovered that nothing could suit me more. After all, I consider one of my finer traits to be, of course, self indulgence.
