We've all made a huge mistake...

This is not a good idea. This will eat up hours of my time... but wait a second... I think "time" is a load of crap! That's right! Vonnegut won me over in Slaughterhouse 5 and Timequake... I don't take "time" seriously. Regardless of my philosophical game of tiddly winks with a personified "time," I think this blog business intimidates me; especially with the recent outpouring of amazingly articulate blogs and posts by so many of my favorite people: Craig Nash (the Father of Blogs from Which All Posts and Original Ideas Eminate and To Whom All Ideas Will One Day Return Too), Harris-freaking-short-story-writing-Bechtol, CarnDawg (whose Blog requires an open window of Dictionary.Com and a handful of Ginko Biloba pills just to contain the knowledge he will no doubt drop), Air-Jordan Browning, SheaButta, Dudley, and so many others! How am I going to compete in the world of blogs? I can't. I will constantly leave the computer now with a deflated sense of self from looking at how puny my blogs look compared to the gathered works of the afformentioned.

Q: Why have I resisted so long?

A: I didn't want to deal with the fact that I cannot win in a head-to-head blogoff with any of these people.

Maybe this more accurately captures my hesitation in entering the world of Blog:
