Is anyone listening?

So a few of my friends have blogs and it seems like a really cool idea. But up till now I've been asking myself, "Self, does it really matter what you have to say? You're no scholar, only an amature philosopher, and only hilarious on those other days." Time and again I've almost posted comments on my friend's boards, but then I wonder "How does this help anyone? Maybe I should just shut up, listen, and learn."

So I told my friends about this last night and they said I was absolutely right, but that that is exactly what a blog is for!

So here I am, starting every paragraph with the word "so" and wondering who out there is actually interested in my ramblings. If you're reading this, I would really love it if you would just let me know with a short comment. I guess I'm hoping that someone out in internet land who's got lots of friends will stumble on this blog and tell everyone that it's the best thing since sliced cheese. Like maybe the next time Tom Cruise goes on 20/20 he'll tell Barbara Walters, "I found this really awesome blog that I read everyday. This guy just talks about funny things he has observed or pretends to have observed. But he also has really deep insights about why people just don't get along, and how we all should be a little more humble. He's become a really good friend of mine, people say we look alike, and I think I'll fully finance his world travels."

So, maybe that last part was something I made up. We'll try this blog thing again tomorrow.
