It's the start of something new...

This weekend, I got together with family for a reunion. In attendance were my Aunt Sarah, my cousin Justin, and his wife Julie. Besides being related, these three have something in common. They all blog. It's a nice way to keep in touch with what is going on in their lives.

Now, I had a blog in college to keep in touch with my high school friends, but it soon became a place for me to discuss the latest movie I'd seen or show I'd watched, and who really want to hear me go on and on about a movie?

But being around all of these bloggers inspired me. Maybe I should start up another blog. And set parameters, like posting about my actual life instead of movies (although the occasional review may slip in. I watch movies. And I love to talk about them.)

I hope to keep up with it. I have a few concerns. The first will always be, "Now what do I post about?" Another concern is length. I like to talk. And I like to write almost more than I like to talk. And nobody needs to read 1000 words on what my cat did last week (he peed himself from fright. No joke.) This post is already getting too long.

My other major concern is pictures. I take pictures. But not everyday. And I don't always have time to upload them. So I can post without pictures, but nobody likes reading a blog without some images. So I may have to post stock image like this:

But my goal is going to post 200 words (at least) 2-3 times a week. And if that fails, my overarching goal is to be better at posting than my cousin Travis is.
