The blog is blank and, as of yet, unread. Looking at it now is like the first walk into a new home. It’s empty and unfurnished, but it’s yours. Its beauty comes from its potential. A new logo, a better color scheme, a nice window treatment. Yes, this place has potential!

For the past few years well-meaning friends have been pushing me to get on my ass and start bogging, so here we go. They say the first post is the hardest.

I really don’t know why it has taken me this long. I’ve been witting articles for newspapers and magazines and badgering people with my opinions (I prefer to call them “insights”) for years, but somehow the very essence of bogging, broadcasting one’s thoughts several times a day — as if people are interested — has always seemed quintessentially narcissistic, which, come to think of it, means I’ll probably be pretty good at it.

I’m not sure how, when or even if readers will arrive, but perhaps with a little help from my friends, Hairy Barbarians will work out well.
