The cliche of a first post

Here it is... the world of blogging.  Do people actually read these things?  Better yet, do people read other peoples blogs and tell them or do they do it in secret not wanting to reveal that they are reading someone's thoughts, feelings and ramblings.  But then the question changes to if the blogger didn't want his or her writings to be read by friends, family or total and complete strangers then why have a blog?  Why not have a journal or a diary like the ones we all wanted as a child, wrote in them for maybe a week or a month if they were lucky and then they got shoved under the bed with all the other "must haves" of the time.

Of course in starting a blog the blogger (bloggette?) hopes to continue on a relationship of sorts with the keyboard and world wide web by writing out his or her philosophical thoughts of the day or moment.  Will they though?  Will I?

To be honest I don't know how this whole blog thing will go.  A friend told me that I should start one after I told her that I wished I had a blog so that I could write down my thoughts on judging people by their bathrooms.  A topic which I'll divulge in after this cliche of a first blog post is done.  I have no idea if I'll keep it up and if I do keep it up what I'll actually write about.  I should have started a blog while traveling overseas but instead I kept a journal - a personal one where I could swear if I wanted to, ramble if I wanted to, cry if I wanted to but then I could close the covers and no one else would know.  Because I was keeping a journal I figured I wouldn't keep a blog.

I don't know who will read this, and I'm not sure if I want to know if you do read it.  Maybe somedays I suppose I'll want to know so leave a comment (if that's an option on here... I don't know if it is, I clicked on a friends blog and then clicked a link that said 'start your own blog' and that's how I got here) if you feel like it, leave your name if you feel like it, or don't...

These are my thoughts, feelings and ramblings... take of them what you will.
