Ok, so I am late to the blogging world, there are many newer and other means to communicate now. I have been thinking of doing this for some time. The questions I've had about starting a blog are many. Can I actually have something to write about? Can I write? Can I keep it up or will it be a fad? What do I write about (that anyone will want to read)? Those are the main questions, to start with. I wasn't sure if I should have a blog and write about one subject and talk about the same subject (like my beer brewing process), or just have it be random. I guess over time I can figure this out....if anyone really will read this.
I can say one goal out of this is to improve my writing skills. They are well.....a little weak. I have trouble really describing what I am wanting to say. Over the last year I've had lots of changes in my life and one of those is a new job. The new job is GREAT, but I am losing some of my communications skills I gained when I was a manager. Let me say they weren't that great to begin with. So I thought a blog would help me improve that. Only time will tell.
When it came to subjects, that seems easy but then again hard. Anyone who knows me, knows I love, Hockey, Beer and Technology. I could write about all 3....and I times I might, but wondered if I should throw in anything else that might happen in life. I get inspiration from my wife, who is an amazing writer. She doesn't think she is, but she can really describe things so well. (Tangent...which I will call squirrel from now on) A couple years ago my wife spent the summer with my grandfather and she blogged about her trip. It was so well written it was like I was there each day with her. I also just could not wait for a new update each day. It was just something that was so cool and awesome! Back from squirrel. So her writing is what has inspired me to do this. I won't ever be as good as she is, but I will give it a try.
Just to set expectations about this, there will be lots of blogs about beer and hockey....with a little tech and life thrown in. I am sure there are going to be some who will be offended, some who won't care to read at all and many who are in between. I hope that whoever (if anyone) reads this will get a laugh and have fun with me as I learn to be better. That is what life is about, right?
