For quite some time, the idea of blogging has intrigued me. As I’ve read others’ blogs, I’ve thought “I may not be able to do this well, but I could do it.” Holding me back though was nagging self doubt. What would I write about? Would it be interesting? Would anyone read it? Could I do it consistently? Would my boss find out and fire me?

Given these questions, I chose to just fret on the sidelines. I spent my time watching others succeed and fail, while I simply aged. Then one day, over a rather awful egg foo yong, I opened a fortune cookie and read “Behind every dark cloud lies a brite sun.” I had no clue what it meant, but it spoke to me. Behind the poorly spelled fortune was not a bright/brite sun, but a message: blog about fortune cookies.

As Confucius once said, “A good blog can be made of nothing but fortunes and humor, but making fortunes requires more than blogs and humor – you also need pictures of kittens.” Since I don’t intend to pay off my school loans using this blog, instead I’m just going to post fortunes I get from cookies and offer my own unique spin.

There is an off chance that I may also blog about my work (except I’m governed by a confidentiality agreement), politics (except I have relatives in politics who may wish I was governed by a confidentiality agreement), my love life (except it sucks and I wish it was governed by a confidentiality agreement), and my thoughts on life (except those would put you to sleep). Or maybe I’ll just stick to fortunes. Who knows what I’ll do? Other than a fortune of course…
