My Entry Into Blogdom, Watch Out!

Interesting to note that as I punch these first words into my virgin blog my heart is pounding with anxiety and anticipation.  Having gone from only entertaining the idea of having a blog for years to actually writing one, I suddenly feel an urgent sense of responsibility.  Who cares about what the pundits say about bloggers being “real journalists” and all the hooplah, I’m doing this for my community and those who I care about if I happen to reach a larger audience along the way, dope.  If not, so be it.

Why now, why have I waited all these years to finally jump in?  In short I’m about to start another solo motorcycle journey into Mexico and Central America, perhaps beyond.  This trip is to be more ambitious than any other motorcycle trip I’ve been on before and of course all my friends and family have been asking me to keep them posted on the going ons of my life on the road.  This I figured is the easiest way and it’s also time to graduate from myspace blogging.  I see the wordpress outlet as a way to express a more serious side of me and to keep those updated on the things that make me tick (art, music, politics, sustainability, books and bookish people, community, etc.).  So that’s it.  I’m no longer a blog virgin.
