why can’t i think of anything to write?

maybe it’s because i feel i have nothing to say, maybe it’s because i’m scared of expressing my opinions, maybe i don’t want to write a “personal blog, i guess i could be scared of offending someone… I think the real reason is that i’m maybe just too lazy, or too tired, or just to full of excuses not to.

whatever it is, just asking the question has given me something to talk about, i guess the clever thing now would be to take this personal, self-reflectional question and somehow apply it to some greater debate, write a really really good blog entry.

i’ve always had a love/hate relationship with blogging, the thought of having my own blog, the design process, the building of the tempaltes, the skinning of the engine, the million different plugins i end up sourcing to make my blog sing the way i want it to, yet every blog i’ve ever had, i get to like 80% done, write a few entries then forget about it.

I’m going to try and make a real conscious effort not to let this blog fall by the wayside like so many others, I’m pretty confident i can do it, but i guess only time will truly tell.

So there it is, my first blog entry on what i hope will be a long running chronicle of my life, work and all the in between bits.
