As a typical American sports fan, I see Soccer as a sport in distant sixth place in the grand hierarchy of North American Sport.

The top two are obviously Baseball and Football (the pigskin kind), followed by Basketball and Hockey.

Then comes, surprisingly, auto racing, which has made tremendous inroads in the last ten years, in my opinion. Never mind that I despise the "sport."

Then soccer. Maybe. And largely on the strength of its grassroots presence, i.e. youth soccer.

At this moment, I'm watching Meet the Press on TV whilst typing in the journal. It's basically my first experience with 802.11b, except perhaps at work.

It supposedly a "wireless" experience, which is true as long as I don't want to do it for more than a couple of hours. I can only free myself from 'wires' for as long as the laptop's battery lasts.

So I've been doing the "almost wireless" thing, leaving it plugged into a power source during my TV watching time.

So I'm considering starting my own little blog here. I'm fully aware that probably nobody will ever read it. That's okay with me.

So what's a blog anyway? I haven't really read a whole lot of them, but I'm aware of the concept. It confuses me a bit, I must say.

Here's how I perceive blogs. A Blog is somewhere between a diary and a James Joyce novel. It's like a diary in that it's no good if you don't jot down your thoughts on a regular basis. In otherwise, provide content.
