Why blog, why now?

Maybe you're following this blog and you're wondering "Blogging, is it 2006 again?"  No, it's still 2014, but I just want to start up again.  I was prompted by a tumblr question to Marvel Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis. I really don't consider my self a writer, but I do consider my self a thinker.  There are thought's in my head that i just need to get out, and they are more than would fit in a tweet or even a proper facebook post.  Some of it will be heady, intellectual pondering, some will be thoughtful introspection.  Most will be silly stuff.  It'll be more a personal diary than publishing for the masses.  Feel free to enjoy it.
