First time blogger with no excuses

Hello! I am a first time blogger and I am just learning the tricks of good blogging. I've been itching for some time, say around 100 years or so, to write, but not been able to. There are a list of excuses which I would love to share and also play the blame game. Sharing eases the burden off your shoulders and blaming makes you feel so good. But some sense that is still left in me (good or bad) prevented me from doing so. So here I am, writing, without unloading the weight i'm carrying, without complaining.... phew! Tough job, I must say. My alter ego is fuming! "Just one teeny-weeny nasty remark", says the devil. I chose to ignore. But for how long?
Well, psychologists say that it is a general tendency in humans to look out for some excuse. It keeps one sane, brain in perfect working condition (to come up with new excuses) and promotes the general well being! So, with all these benefits in the offing, I must be crazy! There is no dearth of excuses one come across each day. Late for a meeting? Stuck in a traffic jam... Lost a bet? Lady luck is angry... Cannot complete a work? Was busy with something else.... Cannot do something in life? Its my fate... can't fight fate, you know.......... Isn't it amazing how the human brain works up innumerable excuses, each one a shining example of original creativity? If only it is put to some other use, humanity would be doing a lot of constructive activity. "Well then", asks a friend, "why didn't you start writing blogs before?" "Well..." I say "I am so stuck with house work, kids, their exams, social obligations.....  blah! blah! and more blah! " The friend understands. But God knows why the devil is smiling!
