The very first post..

So just how important is a blog post anyway?
Will anyone read this blog?
Will it have any impact on the world?

Perhaps that's what Mark Zuckerberg thought before he created facemash.com, and eventually thefacebook.com

The problem with the internet is you can never really tell. There are some 1.73 billion internet users worldwide- that's around a sixth of the population with the world at their fingertips. Have we ever stopped to think just how amazing that is? And yet how insignificant it makes us seem?
We're all guilty of the lure of social networking (don't say you're not, else you wouldn't be reading this), and with that the self-absorption we fall into. Thinking that all out online 'friends' WANT to know we just stubbed our toe, or went to the store, or even as I was guilty of less than an hour ago... that I enjoyed a movie.
Even the fact I'm writing this now may seem high and mighty (or that I think of myself that way, rather), and that I have a ridiculous assumption that somebody will read this.
But so what?
We all have our reasons for this... acting like we're the best/sexiest/nerdiest/most intelligent/[add relevant adjective here] person out of the 'friends' we have, and assuming they actually want to hear all this shit.
For me it stems from some long childhood issues (I won't expand on)... something along the lines of why I am no longer able to keep a diary.

Who knows? Maybe I will someday be the next youngest billionaire in the US (though it's not likely considering I have no talent and do not live there) and everyone will hang on to every word I say.
I will however, for now, have to settle for using this blog as my diary, and hope that maybe I'll get some followers, who maybe might just agree with something I say. Or even more interestingly, ones who don't... I do enjoy a good debate!
