I know, I know, I'm late to the game. It turns out that while the rest of the world began blogging years ago, I was probably still trying to figure out whether to use online banking. So, thanks to those of you who have welcomed me into this century with open arms (yes, both of you!).
Here's the thing: As far as I can remember (which is usually only a few minutes back, but in this case a little longer), the blogs that I have read always seemed to have some depth. The one I used to read semi-regularly was by a friend of mine, who wrote on planetroxy.com (interesting topics, good delivery, knowledgeable... have a look). All the good blogs hinted that the writer had put some thought into it, researched some information, and ran spell-check. Most blogs that I read on the web were even written by people who knew what they were talking about. I couldn't promise that I'd do the same.
And then I met Demetri Martin. Ok, I exaggerate. I didn't actually meet the dude, just ran into his blog recently. Being a regular ESPN.com reader, I often stumble into the Links of the Day from Simmons' page. Recently, there was a link to Demetri's (we're on a first-name basis already) blog. What he did was summarize his days and weeks with his rambles and random thoughts. Although it was over a year old, it was still pretty funny and, hence, entertaining.
Hey, if a blog's got no rules, I guess I can do the same! I've got my own share of random thoughts that are interesting to no one. So, instead of infringing on the personal time of the next homeless guy I see, I'll just post them here. Besides, my therapist said it's good for me - apparantly holding everything inside isn't a good thing (Aside: Given that there are crazy lunatics in the world today who will do some pretty wacky things, are you sure we shouldn't be asking everyone to hold everything in, instead?).
And, so it begins. While the rest of the world is already in the 21st Century, I have finally joined you. Now, if only someone would help me get some money into my bank account, I'd be good to go...
Until next time, Saif's out!

Congrats for starting your own blog. I've been thinking of doing the same, and oddly enough, my inspiration would also be planetroxy.com! Her Boyfriend must be great!
