I have a dear friend Joe who I met at sleepaway camp back in middle school. Out of everyone from my camp experience, Joe is the only one who has stayed a part of my life... through high school, college, different relationships, the army sending him to war, living several states apart when he was home, and the general obstacles that life provides. Nonetheless, Joe keeps a very special place in my heart, as someone who knows me, respects me, cares about me, and makes me smile.
A few days ago, Joe sent me the link to his new blog. I must say, after over 10 years of friendship, Joe was the last person I'd think to have a blog where he shares his feelings and experiences. I mean come on, his emails from war-torn countries are short and sweet, with little emotion (probably on purpose for those of us concerned with his activities).
I became intrigued by the idea and wanted to know more. I mean, I'm just as cool as Joe, if not infinitely cooler. Joe has a very distinct idea of what his blog is for / what it will cover... do most bloggers do the same? Do I need a "topic" or "theme" for my blog if I were to start one? I asked my colleague Emily how she felt about blogging, and she immediately sent me her own personal link. She indeed had a "topic"... a goal for 2010 for which she would document the journey. So I guess I need a "topic?" Then I thought back to my friend Serita's blog... and it seemed to discuss whatever was going on that day (although it was usually finding the humor in the male species, which I suppose is a "topic").
So, after much deliberating (not really), I decided to start my own blog. No clue what I will write. No clue if a "topic" or "theme" will form. No clue if anyone will read it or how long I'll keep it up. But hey, should be fun!
