Well, I've surprised myself by starting this blog. I cha buduo didn't. ('Cha buduo' is Mandarin Chinese for 'almost'.
Recently in my internet wanderings, I moseyed across a gem of a blog very well-written in English by an erudite non-native-born wordsmith, and it caused me to ponder the prospect of my possibly writing and keeping a blog. I thought, "If I, as munificent as I am, were to share my thoughts with others, would the acclaim and the accolades go to my head, or would I remember to keep Jesus foremost in receiving the glory?" I then responded, "Mei wenti." which is Mandarin Chinese for, "No problem." After all, I have several good friends who would think it their sworn duty to defenestrate me were my head to swell prodigiously. In fact, I just hope that I can keep this first blog post from being the antepenultimate one.
Now, I hope that the above paragraph hasn't offended the reader's sensibilities with it's connotations of pomposity, for I wrote such in order to introduce my current 10 favorite words, which may be seen on the right side of this page.
Time will tell how well I keep this blog, seeing as it's been almost 10 years since the last time I tried to keep much of a journal. The reader's encouragements would be very beneficial to such aspiration of regularity.
Sincerely,
Bard Oly
