Everybody Should Write a Blog

Ok Seth (GoATin), I hear you.

In a podcast ep. with Tim Ferriss and Seth Godin, Seth recommends a bunch of books that all sound amazing (really excited to read the one about the professor-turned- co-founder of Occupy Wall Street) and it reminds me of how much time I need to set aside for reading. I can slam audiobooks all day in the commute and at work, but man, sitting down with a book in hand…that takes time.

Ok so you want me to start a blog…I can write about stuff. I a’int scrrd. I’ll just have to… ya, ill just have to keep it clean enough for my permanent record. I can do that. Totally…! I think anything thats in between clean enough for my permanent record and boring is ok.

Let’s come up with some points of focus. Constraints. Dare I say rules..

1. Tell a story, stay on topic
2. Humor is inevitable
3. Don’t cross the boundary between a journal entry and a message that could potentially ever be shared
4. Swearing is ok

Ok I’m bored of making rules those should work for now. I wonder if I can edit this in the future.

Heres a link to this podcast with Seth Godin and Tim Ferriss that got me here, right now, creating this blog.
