a little nonsense now and then

transitions are often tricky things. 

in music, the transitions are what require the most practice and thought.  when driving, the merging onto a highway makes my palms sweaty.  when writing, the transitional words/phrases can make or break it.  and the most dreaded the transition from sleep to not-sleep. 

and then there are the transitions of life on a broader scale.  the time between one era and the next.  from one family to another.  marriage. babies. graduation. moving.  these transitional periods often envoke stress and uneasiness.  luckily, i’m currently only dealing with the latter two. 

here goes!  a brave jump into the world of blogging.  actually…it’s a relatively painless jump.

i’ve been reluctant to try blogging for several reasons:
1)  i become obsessive over things like this.  i’m a self-prescribed facebook addict, for example. 
2)  i am unable to formally define the word ”blog”.  go ahead, laugh.  but can you define it google-less-ly?
3)  allowing others to read what i write is allowing strangers to see something personal about me.  it’s kinda like standing nude in front of a group of people.  even if you know the people, they are seeing parts of you they have never seen before.  and that’s awkward. 
4)  time likes to hide from me.  and it should give me flying lessons. 
5)  all attempts at journaling have ended in failure.
but here i am.  and it feels nice.
