After having stared numbly at the computer screen for the past half an hour, I now have learned my first important lesson in blogging: 1st time blog entry appears to be tough... The same question popping through my head over and over again: "What for the love of God should I write about?" I'm afraid I haven't thought this through as much as I should have. First of all, I come totally unprepared to doing this. Indeed, I must be one of the last twenty-something people that has never even read an entire blog posting, let alone wrote one. Secondly, no spectalur events occured in my life that I would feel the need to share it with the world: no post-war trauma's, no terminal diseases, no alcohol or drug problems, no natural disasters nearby. Yep, my life has been 100% drama-proof up until now. Now from what I understood from [*someone who should know* http://www.futurestreet.org/cgi-bin/mik], a theme or subject isn't all that important in the blogging community and you shouldn't be too worried about deeper meanings and revolutionary new findings. Actually it seems you can write about every subject you can imagine. In demonstration, let me quote a few of the teasers I came stumbling upon while browsing some [*blog directory* http://www.blogwise.com]: "Mind farts and other filth from a psycho mom and her family", "Just about what comes to mind" and "A weblog of fiction and other writings, all without a point" The one and only condition to blogging seems to be that you produce text: combinations of letters that form chains of words and sentences. If the thing you issued actually makes sense, that's a nice extra, worth a tap on the shoulder. Obviously, I'm not quite there yet ;-)
