Because, why not?

I have decided to start my own blog.  Why?  Well ... why not?

I realize that blogging isn't cool anymore, and maybe that's part of it.  I have never held a desire to be "cool" anyway.

It isn't an ego thing either.  I'm pretty sure no one will ever actually read any of these.

I suppose it is simply a primal need to let the random thoughts that get trapped in my brain out to get some fresh air.  There is so much going on up in my noggin on a daily basis that it all runs together after a while.  Perhaps if I let them out then I can get a semblance of order back in my brain and stop herding the metaphorical cats running loose in the jungle gym of consciousness.

I have no idea what I'm going to actually talk about.  I imagine it will be as eclectic as I am.  Stuff about games, movies, and music of course.  Probably some about books and poetry too I bet.  90% sure a rant or two will show up about things I perceive as idiotic around me.  Some carefully edited and redacted commentary on things that happen (or happened) in my classroom are sure to show up.  I dare say that nothing is off the table.

Now, studies have shown blogs need to be specific to be successful, so it looks like this one won't be.  But as I mentioned that I doubt many will read it anyway, who cares?

So ... sit back and prepare to be moderately amused.  You might even smirk.
