C'mon, everybody's doing it.

Is it possible to start a blog without a cliche phrase and a justification? Maybe. But why break with tradition?

There are tons of great reasons to start a blog. It seems a fabulous enterprise for an idealist out to change the world, or a pessimist looking for solace, for those who are bored and have too much time, and for those who are boring (but at least considerate enough to bore people online rather than in person). Blogs are the new frontlines of democracy and quicksand of demogogery.

My personal justification? I don't know. Guess I have things to get off my chest, and this is cheaper than therapy.
