The black hole of Blogdom

Good Grief!

What just happened?
I have just been flung unwittingly into the world of blogging.
I was merely trying to get an identity so I could stop lurking and post a comment on my brilliant sister's blog.
Then, after winding my way through the labyrinth of googledom, suddenly I find myself with a blog.
So what do I do with it?
It's like those hideous English tests in High School where you are handed a blank piece of paper and asked to write a literary masterpiece in 30 minutes or less. You stare in desperation at the blank page as if you could will the jumbled thoughts in your head to form themselves into coherent sentences and leap onto the page. Instead the process works in reverse and soon your mind is as empty as the page. Nothing but little brain cells sitting there mutely staring at each other.
It makes me all the more glad that now I am the teacher - not the student.
Maybe I can fill the void with profound, mind-altering thoughts - or maybe I could just rant and rave since I doubt anyone will ever read this. :)
I have a list of numbered "soap-box lectures" I occasionally inflict upon my students - maybe they can find a home here.
In any case - Hello Blog world! You have been warned.
