Tales of a Virgin Blogger

So I'm educated. I've got my handy little marketing degree from Ball State University (which helps in no way on a daily basis in the insurance industry) right here in my back pocket. I've been gaming since I was 7 when Santa was a nice enough fella to put that NES with Mario Bros and Duck Hunt under my tree so many years ago. Me and Donkey Kong go way back. I've also got journalism experience in the gaming industry. So why in hell do I not have a blog?

I'm not afraid to admit that I had no idea really what a blog even was up until about a year ago. Huh, you mean people just write what they're feeling or whatever the hell they want to talk about and publish it for the world to see? It's presumptious, pompous and ridiculous I thought. Now, my mom has a blog for chrissakes. So in the end, I figured "what the hell?" Call me a sheep. A Lemming. If my friends all blogged off a bridge would I do it? You bet your ass because that's what friends do.

I can't really say where this blog will go as time passes. I'm sure it will be random at times. Other entries more poignant bordering on purposeful even. I'll hope to get better as time goes by (I'm not really sure why). But I will give it a shot at least making it somewhat interesting. If I get some readers... great! If not, at least I can tell my mom I tried.
