My First Ever Blog

So here's the dirt...

I like to think about things. I am not shy to share my thoughts, opinions, and advice- whether people like it or not.

If you know me, you know I like to talk. That said, you probably appreciate some of what I have to say. With that in mind I am somewhat surprised that I haven't started a blog earlier.

Let's take a quick step back about six months. I have always been a reader and a computer geek of sorts. I like politics. I like current affairs. I like to seek interesting and entertaining information in my life. As such I read a lot online and have recently (within the past six months) noticed the growing popularity of people commenting on new stories on the news sites themselves.

Well, after reading a MacLeans article today, I wrote my first ever online comment to a news agency. I couldn't seem to stop there though. There were a couple of responses and a little online banter. I partook with glee! I still couldn't stop and I frantically emailed a friend of my about another hot topic.

"Hey this is fun," I thought, "I feel like I am blogging".

And now I am.

So here is my plan:
-At least once weekly I will post;
-I will generally focus on real estate and business;
-Politics will likely come into play slightly as well;
-I am sure there will be the random odd posts related to who knows what;
-This will become my online, out-loud, think tank;
-I hope people will visit and participate and comment and converse.

Wish me luck and enjoy!

In seconds my "second ever" post will be up too, and then I will no longer bother keeping track.
