…and I think I had good reason. Before there was “The Blogsphere,” blogging was the realm of high school and college kids complaining about their lives, saying nasty things about their friends, and moaning to anyone who would listen about how much their privaleged, suburban lives sucked.

This still goes on. People still invite their friends to a party in a public blog posting and wonder why some of them don’t get the invitation. Hell, I’m starting mine off by complaining about complaining. As the national media will tell you, however, blogs as an outlet have expanded in their scope and possibility in recent months and years. Now I’m in a new place. Far from my family and my hometown, the contents of my life distilled to a 14′ U-Haul. Maybe it’s time I grew up with the technology.

This brings us to my shocking change of heart. Partially at the urging of one of my professors here at DU, and partially because I’ve played the petulant child on the subject long enough, I’m going to give this a try again. I’m hoping to come up with a post a week at this point. I’m not sure yet if I’ll have a topic, but since this counts as a post, I have a week to figure that out, don’t I?
