Giving The Diary Concept A Try

For my first entry, I thought I would try to do something in the vein of what we discussed this blog potentially becoming -- a way for us to learn new things about each other and rediscover our creative side. I'm treading lightly with this first entry as self-revelation in actual writing is not something that I'm good at. The "Bob Packwood" scandal (the senator who was impeached because of his diary entries) made quite an impression and I have been leery of putting anything that I actually think or feel into words ever since. As such, I've never kept a diary or anything close to it. It was actually quite a big deal for me to think of doing something like this as there is just something so real about writing things down, even if in cyber-space. (Revelation #1)

I'm writing this at 1 a.m., mostly just to get this going. This might be another "revelation" (#2) -- or maybe you already know this -- but I frequently have trouble going to sleep at night and I tend to futz around until 2 or sometimes 3 in the morning. This is actually the real reason that I usually don't make it to work until the 10 o'clock hour -- I'm often too exhausted to get up in the morning at a "normal" hour.

Anyway, that's enough for tonight. Perhaps I'll have something more interesting to say tomorrow.
