And so it begins...

I have long since lost count of my many failed attempts at journaling. It was not that I hated writing it, or did not find it incredibly helpful to put my thoughts on a page, or that I did not find my thoughts incredibly amusing when I read them years later. It was...well... I just suck at it. I would make 3 or 4 entries and then forget about it or misplace it (every time I move I stumble on a past attempt and get a good chuckle). I also realized that it was never something that I could become overly excited about. What struck me was that I am too much an extrovert to really enjoy the quiet reflection which is classic journaling. I find it much more therapeutic and enjoyable to share my inner thoughts with another human being, especially if it over a tasty beverage, such as coffee or a beer.

So the other day as I was reading the blog of a friend, I recognized an opportunity to unite the reflective qualities of journaling with my extrovert and narcissistic tendencies of wanting share my thoughts with others. So with a tasty beverage in hand my blogging journey begins...
