Why blog?

I am a blog virgin. This is my first post. I suppose I decided to give this a whirl to have a place to park my thoughts. Harry Potter aficionados-of which I am one-are familiar with the pensieve. (I wish I knew where I could buy one.) The thing about a pensieve is that it is used specifically to view or store memories. My purposes go a bit beyond that. I'm not sure I'll even stick with this as I've never been consistent in using paper and pen journals.

I will try my best to avoid butchering the English language, although at times I may be inclined to use crude and colorful language. It occurs to me that a blog provides me with a fantastic opportunity to use more creative descriptions of people or subjects that annoy me. For example, instead of using "asshole", "butthead" or "moron-boy" I should probably say something more along the lines of "the incredibly inept ignoramus who currently occupies the oval office". (On second thought, "moron-boy" takes up significantly less space in a sentence. November of 2008 is entirely too far away.)

I will most likely be writing about many different subjects, including politics, religion, sex and pop culture. Aside from those subjects my livelihood is working with children, so I will probably be mentioning some of my experiences with them as well.
