Dear diary...

So, now that the new site is up and running and easier to update, I'm left facing a few questions:

1. Do I honestly have anything interesting or witty or wise to say?
2. If so, who is ever going to read this tripe anyway? and finally
3. Assuming someone does read this, do I then need to consider whether the thoughts I write down are intended for public consumption?

I mean when you think about it, there's a certain egotistical bent to this whole blogging thing, isn't there? A no small amount of pressure to be relevant, entertaining, thought-povoking, or at least smutty. Do I need this after all? Is this a way for distant friends to get a glimpse into the mundane details of my daily existance, or is it a diary? Can I bitch about work, or do I need to wonder whether the person three cubes down from me will be reading this tomorrow. It is a bit of a quandry, you have to admit it. And who decided that a person's journal was better off displayed online for all the world to see? Who do I blame for this, Wesley Crusher?

Sigh. I'm starting to think that maybe I liked it better when I only updated the site once every six months and it consisted only of stale but well-crafted and witty prose.
