Conversation is like sex as blogging is like masturbation.
I've thought about blogging in the past and always avoided it primarily because I hate reading other people's blogs. The sex analogy occurred to me this morning, and I realized that not wanting to participate in another person's self-gratification needn't dissuade me from engaging in the practice myself... so here I am.
If this were a conversation, I might be concerned about alienating potential readers of my blog by using the word 'masturbation' three times within the first post (another concern my be that that of attracting a following that would be immediately disappointed by the lack of future masturbation themed posts), but since it is explicitly not a conversation, I'm going to plow right ahead.
Now that I've justified the existence of this blog to myself, it's probably time for an introduction (I know, what's the point? Well, as a horrible doctor once said, "it's not a perfect analogy"). Here are the aspects of me that I expect to blog about most:
- I have one daughter, and will have another very soon
- I like to drink beer and have started brewing my own
- I have a wonderful wife to whom I have been married for over 10 years
In short, if I actually stick with this blogging thing, I expect it to largely be about making beer with my family.
