The whole concept of a blog has always been something that has evaded the frames of my vision and has (until now) always floated somewhere in the ether above my head. This may have been because I've always thought this an egotist's outlet for broadcasting his or her life. Perhaps I have just realized I am wrong or... perhaps (and this is more likely) I, too, am an egotist. Whatever the reason, the bottom line is that I have decided to embark on the blog-train. I am a writer. I write all the time, and I also enjoy frolicking about on the internet. And after speaking to Jake's brother, Travis, about the adventures and joys of blogging, I have concluded that it is time to move to the 'electronic journal.' The key here is that I realized that the blog does not have to be a diary-- a word that evokes for me images of sappy girls gushing their hearts to the only thing that will listen to them. I am not like that. No, no... I use my 'journal' (still reminds me of the word 'diary' so I prefer 'notebook')... I use my notebook to write down all kinds of things, and that is how I will use the almighty 'blog'. I can write about absolutely anything and imagine the possibilities, oh my! I will probably write notes, voice opinions, create stories or simply relate the strange and entertaining day to day musings of my life. But I do warn those who do choose to read... it is quite possible that my blog will know no limits (well, within reason.) So the meek-minded, the weak-willed, the easily-offended, the self-righteous, the judgemental, the sensitive-hearted and all the departed... are advised to take everything I say with a little bit of levity. And so the adventures of Dani (and of blogging!) begin...
