"To blog or not to blog"...

Ah, a virtual Hamlet I am not.

But the question that troubles me greatly and nearly prevents me from beginning this blog is thus:
Is not blogging an inherently narcisstic activity?

Perhaps the occasional visitor, perhaps the bored, wandering internet addict getting his or her fix, but no one else--save the author--really reads the work.

Blogs are mini-speeches that are rehearsed only to oneself, but often with the pretension of speaking to a crowd.

And yet... there is comfort in hearing one's own voice. It is productive to put one's ephemeral thoughts into print. And perhaps one day someone will overhear--overhear and even resonate.

Thus, I too will join the cluttered world of the blog, yet another voice in the ever filling blogosphere.

I beg your pardon, imagined reader, for what I know will be the great infrequency of the posts.
