I'm entering the Blogging world!

So I was watching a documentary on Harry Truman the other night on PBS. For those of you not in the "know", this is what you do when you don't have cable and Letterman is a repeat. I can't quite recall any details about Harry Truman's life or accomplishments, but I do know that he kept a detailed journal in which he wrote in every night. The fact that this is what stuck out to me about the man leading our country at the end of WWII and gave the final yes to dropping the only 2 nuclear bombs (3 if you count the practice run) in the history of the world... made me wonder if my life would be better if I kept a journal.

Of course, the answer was an immediate "no" because honestly, who journals anymore. Girls do. About crushes and feelings. Boring. But alas, I do have to concede that there probably is some benefit of having a place to write your thoughts, life milestones, and current events. And what safer place than the World Wide Web? As a famous psychiatrist once said, "Just blog it out." So here I go. This is more for me than you, but I hope you are entertained anyway.

My only commitment to this blog is that I will not say anything too controversial that others may point to in the future in order discredit my credibility. Because you never know if you're going to wake up one day and run for president.

This warms my soul. Truly, madly, deeply. I knew you were funny but who knew you could write?
