Maiden Voyage

It seems that now a days people are bloggers. Everyone with a thought about something or an opinion about anything can now write whatever and whenever they want, allowing everyone else on the internet to agree with them or make rude comments about said post. Sometimes it's a release of creativity. Sometimes it's shameful self-promotion. And sometimes it's a starting point for an up-and-coming, wide-eyed journalist trying to keep their skills up while searching for that ever-elusive starting position. Now I join the ranks of one of those personalities listed above.

My wife is a blogger and she writes some humorous, serious and heart-warming posts. I have read all of her blogs and have made editorial comments about them and she always responds "Once you have a blog then you can critique mine."

She has been suggesting that I get a blog for years now, not necessarily so that I can comment freely about her own blog, but because she believes I have some thoughtful insight into the world and that the world should hear (read) what I have to say about topics that I'm interested in, mainly sports. Part of me thinks that she just wants me to stop telling her these things which she mostly knows nothing about and tell someone else who may care a little more, but that's neither here nor there.

Most of my thoughts and opinions you may think are stupid and that they didn't deserve to be written down and that's okay. You'll mutter to yourself "that a useless waste of my time" and click on yet another blog where someone else is yammering on about their sports opinions and maybe mutter again and continue in the same pattern.

So in the spirit of the above paragraph I give you yet another "Stupid Useless Sports Blog"! (And now my wife can tell me to "go tell your stupid useless sports blog about it".)
