Chapter 1

This is a new chapter in my life... my first time blogging, my first (and only) time being married. I know my married life is going to be a wonderful and beautiful thing, but I don't have any idea what this blog is going to turn into, as I feel people tend to abuse blogs for their own devices. So maybe I should begin with what I feel a blog is (or isn't).

I don't think a blog is a place to rant and rave about things. I know blogs are used as escapes, as a way for humans to vent about the unhappy happenings of their lives, but honestly, who wants to read about how miserable you are? No one honestly cares that you don't like raisins in your carrot cake, and I personally don't want to spend 20 minutes of my time reading about how raisins are an abomination and should be destroyed in the forth-coming zombie apocolypse.

I think a blog can be used to document a life, even if it isn't yours. Why not go a little wacko and create a person, a character (for all the "writers" out there) and make them a blog? Wouldn't it be a wonderful way to help create and develop the person you are inventing.

And if you are documenting your own life, why not do it in blog-form? Rather than creating a fictitious character and developing them, why not make your blog a little like a diary and find out how you develop as a person? Who knows, a hundred and forty years from now someone may stumble over one of these prehistoric devices we call desktops and come across your blog and realize that maybe we weren't as stupid as history makes us seem.
