Yearly renewal...

I have this conversation over and over again, more and more it seems, and it usually starts with me proclaiming ignorance in regards to blogs. "I don't get why it's so important!" I'll proclaim, or maybe use the ol' "My parents read the newspaper and don't get blogs, therefore they are irrelevant for everyone!" excuse, but in reality, it seems like everyone these days has a blog. Even me! Heck, I started this blog a long time ago, but it was more as an experiment to improve my writing than anything else. As I've read others' blogs, I'm beginning to realize that maybe my philosophy towards them was not quite right. I thoroughly enjoy reading the thoughts and ideas of my peers, but the content doesn't have to be lengthy expositions. Simple recipes, a great song, a discussion of a NYT article, a joke: these make compelling entries for a compelling blog (or blob, as some call it). So here I am, trying once again to maintain my internet presence for the masses. I hope to try to use this more, make shorter and more interesting entries, so that it becomes a blob I can be proud of. Here's to February resolutions...
