Blogs: The epitome of hubris

For me, the only appropriate way to begin this blog is with a post explaining why I hate blogs. The biggest reason, of course, is that nobody cares what I think. At least, that's my perception. And yet, even with this fact staring them in the face, several friends have told me I should blog.

The second reason to hate blogs is because they are the epitome of hubris. Given reason number 1, how can a blog be anything but an exercise in pride and self-importance? Most of them are little more than a diary that everyone, their brother, AND their pet iguana can read. Do you really want impressionable iguanas reading your innermost thoughts and ponderings? Do you really want that on your conscience?

I know, I know. So why am I even blogging? Well, I just got handed one month of unpaid leave from my full-time employer, so I figure I have the time. Besides, I'm getting tired of everyone asking me for my blog URL. So here it is: http://epitomeofhubris.blogspot.com. Bookmark it. Then forget it.
