So, I've decided to start a blog

I'm going to start this blog out with an sex analogy.  It seems appropriate because 1. I love analogies, and 2. I love sex.  Here goes:

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.
