What's a blog?

So, starting this project has been simultaneously fácil y difícil. I've been suggesting I might make an attempt to publicly share my experiences with the internet masses in this here web log. And finally, with about 5 hours left until departing on my months-anticipated journey, I've found a little time to do so. Honestly, Google made it too easy. I already have an email account, so all I had to do was come up with a title. It's a work in progress, I suppose. Google also coaxed me into joining Google+, which is seemingly more & more like Facebook, so I'm already feeling a bit disinterested. However, the prospect of a multiple person group chat might keep me around. Additionally, at some point I'll probably post a photo album on Picasa, and essentially become a Google sell-out.
Anyway, I decided just today that I will not be taking my laptop computer on any leg(s) of my journey, which means a few things. First, there's no guarantee that there will be many of these posts. And second, there will be no updated photos. But, as many of you know, that's no different than usual for me. I'm notoriously terrible at updating photos and sharing them. One day, one day.
So, this probably means that we will need other images and non-text additions to keep your eyeballs happy.


My question is: can I get sued for posting this on my web log? I see the Nat Geo marker there in the corner, so I think I'm good.
Anyway, tonight was my last softball game this year, as the season will come to a close while I am away. The experience was definitely bittersweet, which is a good way to feel about things sometimes. But mostly I was thinking about all the lovely people I know & the remarkable community that I enjoy. I am truly grateful for both of these things. And right now I feel particularly grateful for the opportunity to take this journey. So, many thanks abound.
I found the contents of my backpack interesting: one pair pants, two pairs shorts, two long sleeve shirts, two tank tops, and one versatile dress. For two months. Naturally, most of the space is taken by my tent and sleeping bag, so I don't have much choice. I think it'll be great. It's supposed to be a dang adventure right?!
Anyway, I will try to keep this web log moderately entertaining and potentially educational. Other than that, I'm not exactly sure what is the purpose and/or intention of its creation.

Double sued
