Giving it another shot

Well, in the past few weeks I've visited more than ten blogs. They have been various blogs and were visited for various reasons, but they all communicated to me one thing: that I needed to actually maintain a blog. I think the straw that broke the camels back was Ben Witherington's blog which is quite scholarly and dismisses the notion that the only thing worth reading/writing must be in physical print. I'm sure that there are many richly informational blogs out there and that I haven't even begun to scratch the surface. This is my attempt to re-enter the blogging community...

...re-enter in the sense that I have tried to blog before and have failed. Partly because of the inherently shallow nature of blog correspondence, where quantity can triumph over quality, and also because I find it hard to stop my day to keep up an interesting blog. Add to this the fact that most blog templates/providers are frustrating to use and that i'm getting too old for facebook and whatever AOL puts out these days and here we are, at almost 5am on a sunday. Couldn't sleep, but it appears that I can blog. If you're a friend, classmate, relative, or stranger, welcome. I'll try to keep it interesting.
