I wanna give this another go...

       I like ending titles for things with ellipses. Whenever I see someone else use one, I feel like they're only saying half of what they were thinking and they're inviting you to fill in the rest. Sot that is what I'm inviting you to do with both the title of this blog in general and with the title of this particular entry as well. I feel like there are so many ways to express oneself these days. Depending on how many words I can express myself in determines the website I will use to do so. If I can fit my musing into 140 characters, Twitter will do just fine. If I need a few more words through which to share my reflections, easy: Facebook. However, sometimes I'm spilling over the top with the need to share and expound, whether anyone listens or not. In these times I turn to a blog.
     

       And that brings us here. This is my second attempt at blogging [web (noun) + log (noun) = weblog (noun) >(clipping) blog (noun) >(zero derivation)  blogging (what a fun little linguistic journey!)]. First, I blogged about Ecuador. This didn't turn out so well, given that I was so busy during that trip that I generally used every spare moment to sleep. But in a fit of optimism I have decided to try again. As I have said, my need to express myself (and sometimes pontificate) cannot always be contained to 140 characters, nor to a Facebook post. Nevertheless, I will probably post a link to this blog on both Twitter and Facebook, and then send texts to several people urging them to check their Facebook and Twitter, thus directing them here. 

       I can't give you a reason for this blog except for what the title says. Just because.... I might talk about my day to day experiences, I'll probably put pictures of the forthcoming baby when s/he arrives, I might discuss some linguistics, but I'll most definitely go off on tangents and then forget where I was going in the first place, that much I can promise.
