Getting down with Buddha

So I've been meaning to start this blog for a long time. Originally I was going to call it 'The Conceit of Mara', which I thought was very clever. It could be interpreted in several interesting ways, and I liked that. One night I mentioned starting a blog, and Phill joked that I should call it 'Sanctimonasticism'.

At first I was a little offended, because he was implying that I was sanctimonious. Then I realized that in addition to him being correct, it was also a really good name. It is irreverent and self-deprecating, yet it also conveys some amount of gravity. It's not too serious and stuffy like my old title. God knows one should never take blogging, or anything, too seriously. So here it is.

This will be attempt number 3, give or take, at blogging. I'm going to try and write something everyday, because I work best when I do things every day. We'll see how it goes.
