“What Are You Going To Do With A Blog?”

   Posted by: Michael Bernier   in General

So, here I am writing my first blog posting. Just as the title says, I spent a long time thinking to myself, “Okay, you think blogs are cool, but what in the world would you do with one?” For the longest time, I didn’t have a clue…and if you don’t have a clue, you certainly don’t need a blog.

But, now I have a clue, and a blog to go with it. And it all came from listening to a song.

You’re probably wondering where the blog’s name came from. I was listening to music one day and came across a song by The Doobie Brothers called “Time Is Here And Gone”. This tune is a story presented from the perspective of a middle-aged man who is taking note of how much has changed in his life over the years, both literally and figuratively. Since I’m fast approaching my middle-age years, I can relate to this story very well.

And so, it is in that spirit this blog was created. My plan is simple: I will be writing about the memories of yesterday, the realities of today, and the dreams of tomorrow, all from the point of view of a person who’s about to reach the mid-point of his life. My goals are equally simple: I want this blog to be informative, thoughtful, and entertaining. I don’t expect to accomplish all three of these goals in every post, but I’ll certainly be trying to achieve at least one of them (if I miss them all, the posting would be utter nonsense anyway).

I invite you to come along with me as I ramble through the hallways of my memory, deal with the trials of daily life, and look optimistically toward the future. Please join in and contribute your own comments and thoughts to the discussion. I look forward to hearing from you!
