I never really thought I’d write a blog. Seeing what people produce when they realize they have the ability to instantly place on display every thought that comes to mind has turned me off to the whole prospect of blogging. Is it just me, or are too many posts on these social networking sites beginning to look a lot like one another? Maybe I’m just playing devil’s advocate, but this might be a good thing. Kind of a ‘culling of the herd’ where genuinely new ideas get noticed against a backdrop of simulacra*. To be fair, I too am guilty of the Facebook post that I thought was just the bees knees at the time only to realize that I am, in fact, just as stupid as everyone else.
Well, the mind/body connection is a powerful thing, and if posting a few lines on the subject every week gives me a better understanding of mine, I’ll give this a try. What’s the worst that could happen?
Welcome to my blog.

*My new favorite word that I learned last week: unsatisfactory imitations lacking the impact of the original.
Danny, I have to agree that this exercise was a little hard to get into. I found the speakers voice choppy and this distracted me. I will try again later to see if I just wasn't into it when I tried. Sandy N.
