Day 1 & Why

So here I am doing a blog. A month or so ago I would have told you that it is a waste of time. I have seen others do it and I have read a few of them but I could't figure out why they did it. My wife started "blogging"and I really enjoy her posts. I feel like she has the opportunity to express herself without verbally saying anything. I came up with the name of this blog pretty easily. Since I work in Television News and work behind the scenes I decided to name my blog "My View from the Other Side" Basically I am going to try to give my daily account of what I see everyday on the job and in my life. I am also going to voice my opinion on some of things too. For instance, today I shot a story on Cash for Clunkers. I think this is a total waste of our money. Even the car dealers in Montgomery think it is a bad idea. Why does the government want to be in the automobile industry? That is all I am going to say about that for now. I hope this is interesting if you decide to follow the blog. I think this blog will provide me with an outlet to "Vent" without saying a word.
