I've thought about doing this for several years now, going all the way back to my days as an undergrad. I thought about it when I was in law school, and I thought about doing it when I moved back to Kansas City to start my career. There are times when I can be the most narcissistic guy on the planet, wanting to comment on every little thing in my life and share it with the whole world- a KU basketball game here, a Rockhurst High School football game there; the Chiefs' draft picks, the Royals' trades; which political candidates I think will win office and why. Pretty much any thing, any time I feel the need.
Then again, that's the reason I haven't. My thoughts and feelings are private. They're mine, not someone else's. Furthermore, I'd like to think that no one gives a shit what I think about well, any thing. I'd like to think they're too busy with their own lives to care what I think. I'd like to think that my opinions annoy the crap out of everybody.
Then something else occurred to me. Maybe someone will read one of my postings, and be affected by it. Maybe they'll be down on their luck, and after reading what I have to say, be uplifted. Maybe they'll be stuck on a thought or idea, and read my blog, and come away with a different thought or point of view. Maybe that's naive, maybe it's self centered, but, now that I think about it, maybe that's me.
