Blog? Rants?? What's All This About???

So while I was attending church today, someone came up to me and said "Blog? Rant? What's all this about?" all because he saw a status on my Facebook page. Well, I have a blog don't I?!?!?! But you know what? Now that I think about it, I could have been a little more detailed in my introductory post.

So the reason I decided to start a blog was because I knew that a close friend of mine had one and he had some funny things. But for me, this goes back to my senior year in high school. Several of my teachers had blogs on Blogger that students can refer to when it comes to remembering homework, upcoming tests and quizzes, and what we went over in class on that day. When I wanted to comment or ask a question, I had to first get a Blogger account. Not too long after I opened up an account on Facebook, I figured I might as well make a blog page or two since I have an account on Blogger.

As it turns out, I see that many people have blogs. Especially from individuals you wouldn't even expect. And when you find out, curiosity apparently kicks in and you want to read their blog. Then, you start to know things about people you never would have known before. I decided to put up a blog (or two) because I feel the need to exercise my mind in an almost recreational way, and tap into the part of my mind that has just so much to say.

"Great writers write all the time"
- A great English teacher I had (and probably someone else that REALLY coined this quote.

Now that I think about it, I did enjoy writing. Especially in school, where it was required. Call me crazy, but I saw it as a way to express my feelings and opinions about the topic or subject that we were studying. My only regrets were the few times I succumbed to laziness and completely bombed SOME of my writing assignments. What can I say? Some things were difficult subjects to write about! That, plus not following through with "writing all the time" part often. But this is different. After 15 posts (not counting this one), I am really enjoying this. This blog can be a number of things. It can be personal stories I don't mind sharing, a rant, some kind of history, something that might inspire you (such as a song, or maybe a different persons' story). You never know until the final work is right before your eyes.

Thanks for understanding! And don't forget to check out my other blog dedicated to my love for aviation at http://mwithakaviation.blogspot.com/; complete with photo galleries, aviation stories, aviation disaster references, and aviation film reviews!
