In the beginning..
I finally decided to get around to writing something.
Why?
Who knows - I've always been interested in what my friends are up to and reading their logs just seems kinda cool. For the last two or so years I always said I would get around to it, but never did. New motorbikes, scuba lessons, marriage, working out and silly work schedules might do that to you, but if I'm honest I never wanted to pony up the time and try to write something every single day. I mean, who wants to read the meaningless drivel about everyday occurences to other people? It's no longer bleeding edge to have a personal webspace, no longer do you feel ultra-hip just to begin carving out your own piece of the interweb thingy. So why the fuck bother? Perhaps I'm just looking for a way to look back over the years 20 years from now to see events, memories and fun times. Perhaps I'm looking for a creative outlet even though I have little to no creative skills. Perhaps I'm looking for another forum to vent my personal pet peeves.
I came to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter. If it's something you want to do then you should do it even if you can't find a good reason for doing so. Act on impulse, because it makes you feel good and because you can. So here we are, writing my first post while I'm printing off Wedding Ceremony Programs for Kim's and my special day in St Thomas next month. They look amazing, and I'm getting more and more excited each day.
