oh-my-god: i-have-a-blog !

hello world!
Just randomly occurred to me to do the this and add my mind-detritus to the piles that I sift through everyday in front of this screen.
It just becomes too much taking in and not enough giving back after awhile, even if no one is listening or watching. Part of my reluctance has come from the many abandoned blogs that I come across. There is always the last date, the lost readers and the end of the story that never really had a reason to end.
I recently said to a friend 'write always'. I really meant it. I don't want her to stop.
But it also made me wonder why I don't start.
So my inspiration comes from two main places: a) My dear friends i capture the city electric and just the good stuff,please and b)a recent article in Modern Love in the NY times in which a woman realizes she is responsible for her own happiness.
