a site dedicated to exposing my worst insecurities

My first post. Welcome. The title is a reference to an old Bob Newhart episode or somesuch. I'm not much of a quoter. Not a great trait for someone who aspires to write (insecurity #1 - I lack some vital component to successful writing). Bob and his buddy (what was his name?) are sitting around trying to remember an old school cheer...much as I'm trying to reconstruct this scene in my mind. The best they can come up with is, "something something rah rah rah." It still makes me chuckle to think of it.

Anyway, I started thinking about finally getting a blog up and trying to think of the perfect theme (insecurity #2 - there is such a thing as perfection and it ain't me) or whatever to convey the wonder of "me" and I realized the futility. Partly because the wonder of me changes from day to day. And partly because the process of putting myself out there begins to move me past the reason I'm blogging. Who knows if I can change the name, but I'm stuck with it now. That's the beauty of it, and the horror. I'm laying it out there, and it is what it will be.
