[First blog posts are always kind of weird. They're like blind first dates -- you're testing the waters...getting to know each other...seeing if you're going to get along. I just want to jump in like I never left my pre-historic Xanga behind years ago and pick up with my "random observations of the day". It seems like that wouldn't be fair to this fledgling beast and that I should really do an introductory "welcome to my blog" post so the two people and twelve bots that check out my page have some sort of context in which to place said blog. So here's my first blog post. I'll try to keep run on sentences and Stargate references to a minimum.]
My name is ishari. No, that's not my real name...but it's a name I've used for so long (since the early 1990's to be precise) that it might as well be my name. I took my name from a bastardization of Daniel Jackson's romantic interest Sha'uri from the classic sci fi flick Stargate. [Oh, and she was renamed "Sha're" for the tv show...just in case you needed that extra bit of trivia for the next family game night.]
I've had a variety of blogs over the years and I finally hit critical mass. I came to the conclusion that rather than have a blog here...a book review there...a craft space over here...I'm just going to have everything on one site. I know, right? Mind. Is. Blown.
[No judgement, please. I reach technological conclusions more slowly than most.]
I've failed at enough New Year's Resolutions to know that saying blanket statements like, "I'm going to blog EVERY DAY!" or "This is the blog I dedicate solely to the study and discussion of cat gifs!" means that I'll post one update and promptly forget the blog's URL leaving my awkward post floating around in the vast void of the interwebs.
So this is all I'll say -- I'm going to update this as often as I can and as often as I want to and I'll write the URL down somewhere I hopefully won't forget. Saying all that maybe I haven't jinxed myself and doomed myself to yet another failed resolution. Maybe.
Well, blog...I guess this went alright. I'll give you a call and maybe we can go out again sometime.
