I can't believe i am doing this!!

For months now a good friend of mine has been telling me I should join the blog world. Every time he would mention it, I felt as though I was a teenager again getting pressured to join the ICQ community. You know what I am talking about, that horrible chat service that allowed unsuspecting teen guys talk to "teen girls" across the globe. Everyone said “it will be fun," " you get to meet all kinds of people." It is all fun and games until you meet a 45 year old man named Pedro posing as a 15 year old girl named Bambi (hindsight is 20/20 they say!)

Needless to say, when it came to the idea of blogging, there was a bit of apprehension on my part... you know, dealing with Pedro and all. However, as i have been reading my friend Ben's blog and exploring this whole new world from a distance, i am convinced that perhaps some good can come out of open dialogue with each other. Commenting and discussing different ideas, viewpoints I believe, has the potential to change the world. This is why I have decided to take the plunge into the universe of blogging...To go where most men/women have been or are going and talk about what we have seen.

In short, this blog is dedicated to one of the most prolific up and coming thinkers of our time. Ben Wright...thanks.
