Oh So Serious

When my editor presented this opportunity to begin writing a blog about anything and everything that I wanted, I was a little nervous. I seem to come off a little serious (ok a lot) and I like everything that I write to have a point. I mean what's the point of writing if you don't have some major issue to examine and resolve...right? Well that obviously isn't true. Writing in a blog next to a bunch of comedians is kind of intimidating, I have never written anything even slightly humorous in my entire life. Not all the blogs posted are humorous commentaries fit for the Conan O'Brian show (sorry guys) but nonethless, they seem to take a lighter look at things. But being the sore thumb that I always have been, I doubt that anything that I post will make you leave your office or home whistling a different tune or rolling in your chair. I guess I take the term "serious journalist" a little to serious. Nonetheless, I realize my own faults and I must be true to who I am. I can assure that the next time that I post something it will be an issue that has truly gotten under my skin or a news story that I felt undeniably passionate about. I believe in the philosophy, "when in doubt, just do what you know" and I definitely don't know how to tell a joke.
