"Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like."

This first entry is always the hardest!

The first entry of every thing is always the hardest. How do you start? What do you say? Who is the audience? When you start writing a paper, it is always most difficult in the beginning. You know what you're going to say, you just don't know how to say it. That's often the problem in life. Sometimes you're in situations, and you want to get a point across to someone, but you just can't find the words to begin. You end up looking awkward and nervous. It's that feeling that haunts you for a long time when you start a paper, an article, a book, a poem, whatever it is you're writing. You scribble something down, erase it, jot something else down, throw the paper away. It's a matter of first impression. You don't want people to negatively judge you, and you know they will only consider the way you looked when they first laid eyes on you, and the first words that came out of your mouth. It's the few first words they read. We're a judgmental bunch, humans that is. I don't know the exact statistic, but I bet we form the major part of our opinion of people based on the first five minutes we spend with/around them.

Here's a shout-out to Fran. I've known Fran for a short time now, but she's a most positively wonderful person. She inspired me to start this blog. I don't think anyone is going to read it, but that's ok. It's my little corner on the internet. Thanks Fran!

I'm not much of a blogger, but I think this will be a nice get away. Get it all out there for the World to see. Here's a first impression, I believe we're all born with a certain amount of good in us, we're a balance of good and bad, and as we go along, we lose a little of one and gain a little of the other, but overall, the good and the bad in the World are balanced. They're in a state of equilibrium!
