why? rules of engagement

why? this is about why i suddenly started writing blogs. I guess it's only prudent that I explain to the readers (if there are any), why i chose the title of the blogs, the rules of engagement in writing the blogs

on with the first question, a peer, who writes blogs actually encouraged me to start this, she told me that it's good to have a "record" of what happened in the past which could bring fond memories. i also thought that hey, when my kid(s) is/are old enough to read, they could actually learn more about there dad, his thoughts, his insights, the way he thinks, what kind of a man he is etc

the title? analysis by paralysis? nothing really, i just thought that it's cute hehehe (or jejejeje) if you're spanish speaking.. seriously, i first heard about that expression from my former boss who i consider to be my mentor, sometimes (or most of the times) i tend to do that, over analyze things


rules of engagement; this will be my , how should i say, guidance in writing my blogs

  1. No regrets. I want to live a life without regrets (i think i'll write a separate one on this)
  2. You will read much about my family, how i was raised, my school, my fraternity and all other things that shaped me
  3. i won't be particular with punctuations and capitalizaiton :-) but i will do my darn best to write gramatically correct english, and oh I will try to write with cohesion as well
  4. i will try to write at least one blog a week average or 52 per year (so if i write one a day for seven days thats good for 7 weeks)
  5. this blog will be a venue for me to rave and rant
  6. Questions: I think most people always try to come up with answers, but I believe that it is very important we should learn to ask the right questions, so in these blogs you will see (read) a lot of questions. I love asking questions
  7. Very minimal when it comes to specifics like names, places, dates

these "rules of engagement" will be a living document (or blog) and excuse me if there will be a lot of revisions
