I wanna be this...

“Every now and then one meets them. Their very voices and faces are different from ours; stronger, quieter, happier, more radiant. They begin where most of us leave off. They are, I say, recognisable; but you must know what to look for. They will not be very like the idea of 'religious people' which you have formed from your general reading. They do not draw attention to themselves. You tend to think that you are being kind to them when they are really being kind to you. They love you more than other men do, but they need you less. They will usually seem to have a lot of time: you will wonder where it comes from. When you have recognised one of them, you will recognise the next one much more easily. And I strongly suspect (but how should I know?) that they recognise one another immediately and infallibly, across every barrier of colour, sex, class, age, and even of creeds. In that way, to become holy is rather like joining a secret society. To put it at the very lowest, it must be great fun.” C.S. Lewis

To Blog or Not To Blog

So the people I admire most these days seem to be writing about some pretty cool things. On their Blogs. Blog... great word. A word that didn't exist, what, 2 years ago?

Sounds pretty caveman-ish if you ask me.

"Mmm... me think Blog is delicious!" or
"Blog! Wipe feet before come in cave after hunt!"

I was asked this week if I Blog, and I didn't know how to answer. Umm... Sort of? I've thought about it? Well, no. I mean yes... I put up this site like 2 years ago and posted a couple, literally 2, posts. To be honest, when I went to look for it tonight, I was certain that it had disappeared back into the Blog-i-verse. I even forgot what I'd called it. Wow - that's got "impact" written ALL over it, eh?

Seems I've got a bit of a Blog complex.

I'm afraid that my thoughts won't be as cool as the thoughts of those on the Blogs that I read.
I'm afraid that I will run out of things to say.
I'm afraid that I will come across as arrogant, self absorbed or all-knowing.
I'm afraid of being compared to the REAL movers and shakers on the planet and falling short.
I'm afraid of my motives for having a Blog.
I'm afraid of typos and poor grammar.
I'm afraid of not having any followers.
I'm afraid that the people who DO follow me will see the real me and be disappointed.
and many more...

But - I think I'll give it a shot. Mostly because I'm tired of FEAR and the havoc it wreaks. So, this will be a little step toward being unafraid.

If nothing else, it will give me a place to dump what's in my brain and maybe crack myself up a time or two. If you decide to "follow" me (weird - can't we just say hang out with? What's with follow?), AWESOME. Let's see how this goes! If you like it, tell a friend. If you don't, just tell me I've got a great personality.

Done "Blogging" for the night. Hmm... that didn't hurt too much.
Meeshee out.
