The First Page...Blogging or not?

Hi,

And welcome to my first ever blog, not sure if this is something worth doing or pursuing, but since the world seems to be engulfed in blogs, news and opinions from semi smarts, very smarts and less than half smarts, I thought I might give it a shot...I'm sure its fun, and maybe even entertaining.

It seems that everyone has something to say these days, particularly through blogs and while that could be considered democratic, it is true that not everyone has something to say. On one note though, the current 'Atlantic' magazine features an article by Andrew Sullivan which vouches for blogging and compares it to a more free style of writing and thinking vs. traditional publishing, freer than ever before. And that may be the essence of it all and the positive in today's digital transition wilder toughts, easier thrown out, faster consumed, more democratic....just don't forget....did you waste yours' or someone else time, make money with or even serve a purpose? But then does it matter..its digital remember!

In any event....feel free to send your opinion, be honest, be straight, use it as a platform. Post a thought, be wild, make this your forum and let me know how your world is turning these days. And please remember the one rule...no whining...if I want w(h)ine, I'll open a bottle....

Cheers from Bklyn....Marty
