Hello There, Ladies and Gentlemen

And now for something completely different...another self-indulgent blog that no one will read.

If there's a blog and no one reads it, does it really exist?

Just in case there is anyone who has chosen to read beyond the first two lines, I call this blog Voices In My Head for two reasons, neither reason being that I'm crazy. An official declaration by the state that I'm insane has never been issued, although it's only a matter of time I suppose. Nor do I literally hear voices in my head, like that of a dog named Sam or the voice of God or the Devil. (I do think God speaks to us all, but that's an issue for another blog posting.)

I chose Voices In My Head mainly because no other blogger uses it. I fretted and ruminated and bothered others on the matter of the right title for this blog. Many a good one was taken. A Blog About Nothing? Taken. Nothing Is Everything? Taken. Random Walk was suggested. Taken. And so, Voices In My Head it is.

The other reason I chose this title is because I like it. It suits me. The slight air of insanity the title suggests does seem to fit me, although I would prefer to be thought of as eccentric. To offer proof of my eccentricity, I will tell you I have grass growing in a small planter on the balcony of my condo. For those of you wondering, it's Kentucky Bluegrass and I have it because I want a lawn of my own. I'll post photos of it when I figure out how to do that.

I suppose there is a third reason Voices In My Head is a good title. We all have an internal voice, a voice we use to discuss with ourselves what's right and wrong, what we should and shouldn't do, what we think about every little and big thing. We all have voices in our heads and now my my voices are being liberated.

My blog can be accessed at johnsvoices.blogspot.com because no one else was using that access name. While a pragmatic decision, it is, again, a choice that suits me. I'm John and here are my voices.
