When the idea to create a blog for myself first hit me, I set about enthusiastically setting up my own 'page' on blogger. It all seemed terribly easy - all I had to do was fill out some things about myself, embellish my statements with a hint of humor and then sit back and watch the readership grow.
I'm not sure at what point the first flaw in my plans became apparent to me. Perhaps it was when I started to stare at the blank screen before me, thinking of what to write. What do I write in a blog? I wanted my first post to be something special, something different. A dozen ideas crowded into my head and so I started to set about thinking of what the perfect first post would be. Would it be about Cricket, or Cars, or perhaps about something entirely different?
I wanted to talk about local politics, about my favorite TV show Top Gear, about my experiences in finding myself the right university, about how I planned to use the free time on my hands once school ended. But which should come first?
I finally decided to let time take its own course. I immersed myself in the rest of my life, and the blog was firmly entrenched at the back of my mind for the better part of a month. Today, however, sitting down in front of my PC at 10:30 pm, I found myself coming back to blogger. My fingers started to type, and voila! my first post was complete.
So, what is it about? I still don't know. And after reading it, I don't think you do either.
