Aren't transitions exciting? I think I'm in a transition period right now...I can prove it, too! For the first time in my life, I feel the need to write. To emote to the community at large, if you will. For those of you who know me, I bet you're saying "Holy crap, Rob has lost it! He's actually doing that thing that he said he could never do." Well, allow me to explain my reasoning. I've come to the realization that Blogs are what you make of them. There are no rules, no guidelines, just a little white box in the middle of a screen with a little blinking thing called a cursor in it. Yay! So now what!? "Why does Rob's want to write a blog then?" Well, that's not quite clear yet. For now, my answer is "Cause I feel like it." Ask me again later. I might have an answer then.
Well, I guess I already have a partial answer. Three blogs have contributed to my desire to write...to share whatever I have to say.
- http://qlink.queensu.ca/~2kf5 - Kendall's blog. My first exposure blogs...the beginning of my interest in blog-culture. I don't think I'll ever be as "out-there" as his blog often is, but I'll be honest.
- http://mtv.curry.com - Adam Curry (MTV VJ 1987-1995) shares his insights about the music industry from his days at MTV. Wow. Some of this stuff seemed like it was straight out of Almost Famous.
- http://thenewgoo.blogspot.com/ - The New Goo... I stumbled across Delia's blog by pressing the "next blog" button from Kendall's blog. I agree with her opinions on a lot of things...wait, that doesn't happen very often! She put a smile on my face.
I guess this is the beginning! Rob's giant leap. Blink..blink..blink. What's gonna come out from behind the cursor? Stay tuned! Let's see where this goes.

YAY!! I'm so excited. Can't wait to read your words. And if there's anything worth doing solely because you just feel like it, it's blogging!
Have fun!
I want to see verbosity and non-engineeresque language splayed eloquently across the page. And yes, I used the word 'splayed' to evoke dirty thoughts, so that you could perhaps sexualize the writing process, thus discovering and expressing more of its inherent passion and sensuality. I want to see flowery adjectives and read juicy stories.
You totally know who this is, so I'm not posting my identity.
P.S. Blog etiquette suggests that you respond to most of your comments if you want to encourage continued commentary.
Soyez prudent! The language police are watching, and I'm not talking about the Office de la langue francaise. There are observers THAT are interested in knowing who you are.
And the police don't like being criticized
