"It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to." so goes the advise of the audacious and honorable Bilbo Baggins to his beloved nephew. Well, this fits my sentements all too well about starting a blog. While I know that this may be a little more than just a wee bit knuckle headed, since I will be using time to post that I should be doing many other more important things and since I may even get knee deep in the big muddy for sharing the thoughts in my head with...well...just about anyone in the whole universe who stumbles onto it, but nonetheless I can no longer continue being one of those unheard, almost invisible non-blogging bodies in the bounds of the great bog of nothingness. I am sure that sometimes I will ramble on about whatever shred of fact or fiction gets stuck between my ears (kinda like I am right now) and at other times I may discuss some serious topic (Theology, History or Politics are most likely). I am also sure that many times I will procrastinate to post for a irresponsible amount of time, but still something with in just keeps saying, "you gotta blog, man. Stop being so ... 80-ish". So hang tight, batten down the hatches, assume a comfortable position and get the pepto readybecause here goes nothin.................
