So I was convinced to participate in the 3rd annual Blog Every Day in April. I had been toying with the idea of starting a real blog now that I'm out of school just to keep me writing.
I do have a tumblr blog but that blog functions more as an Internet scrapbook and is a random collection of things I find interesting on the Internet. A lot of the items I post to Tumblr I used to share on Facebook but I eventually decided that Facebook isn't the best vehicle for political commentary. That said, on Tumblr I typically let the links I post speak for themselves and don't provide a lot of commentary. On this blog, I hope to be less erratic about the things I post and will try to take the time and write about things that I find interesting in the world. Frequent topics will probably venture into the world of politics, sports and pop culture.
Last time I attempted to "blog" I was not very successful writing a grand total of five posts. Before that was during the Xanga/LiveJournal craze (does ANYONE use either of those sites anymore?) and even there posting was sporadic at best.
Hopefully BEDA will, at least for the next month, force me to regularly blog. Who knows, maybe by the end of the month I will find enough of a routine to continue it.
While this is my first post, it's not April yet so this technically doesn't count.
I'm thinking I'll start BEDA with a post about myself using an old 1990s Internet favorite...the email survey.
