What to write, do I write?

Waking up this morning and knowing that

this was to be the first day I introduce myself

to blogging, I was puzzled by the tremendous

amount of places to go, to blog, or not to blog?

Shakespeare and his words once again danced

through my mind, I became obsessed, I couldn't

stop, I had to know... To Blog or not to Blog...



T0 Blog or not to Blog, that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The words and blogs of outrageous fortune,

Or to get spidered against a sea of troubles

And opposing end them. To google-to yahoo,

No more; and by a yahoo to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural clicks

That flesh is pushed to : 'tis configuration

Devoutly to be wish'd. To google, to yahoo;

To yahoo, perchance to google - ay, there's the rub:

For in that yahoo of deals, what googles may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal keystroke,

Must give us pause - there's the respect

That makes blogging of so long life.

For who would bear the adsense and homepage of time,

Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's computer,

The pages of dispriz'd love, the links delay,

The insolence of home office, and the keywords,

That patent merit of th' unworthy text,

When he himself might his URL make,

With a bare webpage? Who would sponsors bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary affiliate life,

But that the dread of something after your site is down,

The undiscovere'd www. , from whose bourn

No traveller returns, baffles the query,

And makes us rather search those sites we know,

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus google does make cowards of us all,

And thus the native unknown links of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale loss of thought,

And enterprises of great hits and searches

With this regard their pages turn awry

And lose the name of action.



I then thought, of course - whatever comes to mind;
That will be my blog.... this one taken from:
William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (written about 1600), act three, scene one. "To be, or not to be"...
