So you want to be a blogger...

Okay so I've read blogs for years, many of which I highly respect, and I've even tried to start my own a couple of times. I started doing a cooking blog once, then a gardening blog, then a restaurant review blog, then a my-kids-are-great-but-they-drive-me-nuts blog. None of them made it to the first post. So here's my last shot at it. This ones just going to be about whatever the heck I feel like talking about. I'm sure I'll be the only one reading it (okay maybe my wife sometimes, maybe my sister too). So really this is more about me feeling like there's a place I can get my thoughts straight on "paper" and make sense of my life in some way.

So expect to see stuff like what I made for dinner last night, or what my kids are into right now, or some cool thing I just heard about, or something (or someone) who ticks me off, or what stupid/embarrassing thing I did on accident, or whatever else I happen to be doing or thinking at the time.

Oh yeah about the title for this blog, it's how I feel a lot. I often feel like I spend a lot of time nodding at people while they talk at me and then when it's my turn to talk I have nothing intelligent to say, so I try my best to fake it. I've made a career out of this. Okay I can do my job, and I do eventually pick up what people are laying down, but when struck with the unknown, this is just how I feel. Blogging, for an introvert like me, is one of those unknowns. What can I say - I'll try, and this time no faking.
