A friend emailed me today, and told me a grand epic that was a day in his life, and my first response to him was ’that story is blog-worthy, share it with the world why don’t you?'.
It’s become more and more self-evident, that the world is full of linguistically capable, and even exceptional writers, many of whom would never have had a chance to use their gifts and let their unique genius be heard by others. But today, with the prominence of the internet, a uniquely powerful medium of free speech, anyone can have the opportunity to become the next great inspiring voice of tomorrow, following in the footsteps of people like Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luthor King, and even Buddha.

So happy blogging to all, and i look forward to reading what people have done, thought, and experienced this week on the world wide web.
