Why A Blog Now?

I’m not exactly known for being on time, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m five years late to the whole blogging party. I remember learning about blogs as an intern in 2003. At my next agency, I did a whole presentation on blogs as an entry-level employee to the entire staff. I was so nervous my knees were shaking under the table and people laughed about the idea of bloggers being important. Several years later we finally launched an agency blog, which was already fashionably late. I’d like to tell you it was a great blog, but reflecting back, it wasn’t what it could have been. The plus side is that I commented on my current bosses blog, and he commented on my blog, and then we met up for drinks. And then I ended up at Metzger. I can write for our agency blog whenever I want, but I’ve been craving a more personal forum. While I’m still devastated that Iwantapony.com is taken, I suspect the Art of Awkward more accurately describes me. I’d like to tell you Kanye West style, “You should be honored by my lateness.” But I suspect the Art of Awkward will be a blog that even a mother couldn’t love.
