I'll Give it a Whirl

I'll start this off with an admission: I am a lemming. Me posting a blog is not cutting edge. I'm definitely not a trend setter and make no claims of being original. But really, are there any thoughts left in the world that haven't been thought or expressed before?

My two inspirations to take on this task are Ryan "Viking Warrior" O'Connor (http://snocon.blogspot.com/) and Christopher "Dog Deserter" Lipe (http://livethelipestyle.blogspot.com/) I consider both of these guys to be extremely intelligent and creative and the intrigue that is sparked when I read their musings is infectious. Cue Prodigy's "Firestarter."

Naturally many questions race through one's mind when starting a blog: Who is actually going to read this? How deep into the rabbit hole of my brain should I take people? How many times a day should I check for comments? You know, the usual doubts/delusions of grandeur that come when you expose a part of yourself to the world. I think that the direction that you take with a blog is very critical and is shaped with your first few posts. Should I focus my thoughts and pump out pure comedy, should I treat this like a diary and type up uncensored tales of my daily grind, or tackle serious social issues? Let's try a potpourri approach and see what happens!

I'm not sure that I will even come close to the entertainment value that Tucker Max brings to the www (tuckermax.com) but we can give it a whirl.
