Yea? And who cares?

My first ever blog post started in English way back almost two years ago in March 2006. I really don't know why. I guess it felt the right thing to do, to use the lingua franca of the internet. Since then, I've come to realise I don't have many friends and relatives that can't read Finnish. I suppose I have never written another post in English since then.

So. The starting of this English language sidekick blog opens a new era. It promises to take up another chunk of my limited time and to waste it on evaporating presence in the cyberspace. But seriously, my encouragement comes from a thought pointed out to me by a friend on the website Church Marketing Sucks:

"Don't start or continue a blog because you want a bunch of people to read your thoughts. No one cares more about what you have to think or say than you do. Now that you know that, the only reason you should be blogging is because you just have to get your thoughts out of your head and into some sort of online journal format. The ironic thing is that the more you blog from your head/heart, the more people will actually start tuning in because they see how important this stuff is to you."

This sounds good enough. All I need now is a a good heart and a big head. (Strong buttocks and some extra time will help.)
