Oh, What do you complain about?

I love coincidences. This morning I fired up my Google Reader and what did I see? Julien Smith (co-author with Chris Brogan of Trust Agents) wrote an entertaining post canonizing a colloquialism that I’m sure is to go down in history.

The next time someone tells you they have a blog, Julien tells his readers that your response should be.  “Oh, So what do you complain about?”

As someone who has just started a personal blog, this is a bit disheartening, but who can argue?  Blogs have become the place where people vent.  Therefore, as starting one’s own personal blog is somewhat of a fad I need to stay above the fray and not let this blog turn into a black hole of ranting nothingness.  In fact, let this post be a record of my commitment to you.

Today, the 19th of October 2009, I commit to you (the reader and the blogosphere as a whole) that this blog will degrade into a mess of complaining, ranting and selfishness.  This blog instead will strive to add something valuable to your life with each post.
