to begin a blog

Having never posted my ponderings on an online forum I am not quite sure how to go about beginning. This is the kind of first impression that either makes or breaks your audience, right? If my first post is some drippy sentiment about how no matter what life throws our way we must embrace it all and sally forth into the unknown it might seem as though all proceeding postings will contain ambiguous, aloof, and all-together cliche beliefs on life copy-and-pasted from www.quotesaboutlife.com. Then if I begin this with some rant about how long the returns line at Marshall's took the other day I may give the impression that I am perpetually with my panties in a bunch and that my blog would consistently reflect that. Or maybe I should just leave the whole blog blank, but still check it everyday to see if anyone felt compelled to comment, at least to tell me that my blog is lame.

I do not pretend that www.quotesaboutlife.com is not bookmarked on my Firefox or that my vocabulary doesn't support the needs of a good rant or even that I don't assume that everyone I ever knew should be thinking about comments to leave for my "delightfully surprised" discovery all the time.

It would seem, however, that this beginning that I have chosen in contemplating the best way to start quite effectively illustrates the constant multitude of possibilities running through my cranium. I suppose this will do. From here on, I will muse. Hopefully you'll come back for more.
