Do me a solid. Please.

I begin this blog for 3 reasons:
a. I need something to do.
b. I have enough time at work to do it.
c. I have, for the most part, failed to stay connected with those who are closest to me and intend to rectify this by sharing some of my life.

What's wrong with Facebook?: Nothing. It's alright. I guess what I really want is to be more than just "connected" to you. I don't want to poke you or just leave a message on your wall. Setting Facebook status updates always seem intimidating. I feel pressured to say something interesting. I want to be able to say something, have you at least listen (read) and maybe offer a few words in return. For some reason, writing individual emails or even calling you guys regularly, for whatever reason, seems daunting. So, I'll write. I'm assuming most of you do not currently have a blog, but if you do, please share.

The Purpose:
I'm hoping this will turn out to be a sort of round table discussion on a variety of subjects. This gives us friends, the opportunity to maybe get some insight on each other. Ideally, my readers (friends) would read my blog semi-frequently, if only to humor me.

The Plan:
I want to write regularly but will set no specific frequency. I intend to keep each entry short. Something you can read before bed or during breakfast or lunch. This itself is its own goal for I am long-winded and tend to lose myself and my point in unnecessary details. I will write about something that's been on my mind or something that's happening to me, if anything remotely interesting happens to present itself.

The Favor:
It sounds desperate, but I am asking you as a friend to follow my thoughts as often as you can.

Thanks, guys.
