Out of the Starters Block

So this is my first post of my new blog, I've failed miserably with my previous two attempts and hesitated before starting a third one. It isn't that I don't always have something to say it's just that I don't think anyone cares what I think. There are hundreds of these things out there and who is reading them. Why would anyone anywhere care what I think about the last book I read or movie I watched. Why would anyone care what I thought of the new President-Elect (I have high hopes for the guy by the way) or the current President being shown the door.

So why start another one at all? Why does anyone start one of these things? Is it the attention they crave or the loneliness they feel. I guess more than anything sometimes people just want a place to vent, a place to spout crackpot ideas or rip their heart asunder without the threat of everyone they know now knowing their deepest pain. Maybe it's the anonymity that a blog gives you, the chance to say what you really think without worrying about it hurting anyone or worse having what you say coming back to hurt you.

So that's what I'll try to do here and I'll try above all to be honest not just with whoever reads this mess if anyone but mostly with myself. That may be the toughest thing of all.
