Hello World

Confession: I am terrified of starting a blog.
Explanation: The thought of anyone I know reading this sends my stomach running for the nearest toilet to throw itself into. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea. I really don't care if total strangers happen upon this. It's another thing entirely for someone who is aware of my existence beyond just my name and email address.
So why am I about to click "Publish Post" in a few moments? Good question. Some of it is because I figure there's a low percentage of people I know who will discover this... At least that's what I keep telling myself. But if I'm truly honest, I see that there's some part of me that wants to be recognized for who I am and what I think. Without all the bull-crap I tend to dish out on a daily basis. Sure I have close friends who get past the mask, but still. There's a piece of me that wants to say what I truly think and feel.
So here it is... Post number one.
Hello World.
(I'm hoping I think of more interesting things to write about in future posts... fingers crossed)
