to blog or not to blog

i have debated for weeks whether i should do this or not.  blogging.  i'm not one for trends, but i admit the idea is intriguing.  i keep a journal and have tossed around the idea of writing a book someday, but the problem with that is subject matter.  i don't have any, or i don't feel like anything i write is very interesting.  that is to say not interesting to anyone else but me,  however, i feel the need for some kind of feedback or approval.  the journal is, by nature, essentially private, whereas the blog is very public in the sense that anyone can access it.  i don't expect millions of hits.  in fact i don't expect any hits except maybe from family and friends once they hear about this.  even then, though, the family can lie and say they read it while in fact they are just humoring me.  it really doesn't matter.  the point is to indulge in the verbal exhibitionism that is the blog.  call it an experiment in personal growth,  or call it a waste of time; i am sure that i will at some point.

one last thing.  Jodie deserves a shout out for the title.  thanks sweetie!
