I'm starting to blog over at arizonajewelers.org and thought I'd cross-post it here for awhile.

I agonized over what to write for this first blog.  It's not that I'm a newbie to blogging.  I've been keeping a Livejournal for at least five years.  When I write over there I write about my life or personal things I've discovered that interest me.  Those blog entries are easy, since I am just writing about what I know.  Yes, I get it.  My subconscious doesn’t have to hit me over the head with a clue-by-four to realize that I need to do the same over here.  My will is bent towards writing about our industry and what I know, but I won’t make any promises.  I have been known to ramble on about the deep connections between haiku and successful marketing.

Let's get this out of the way.  The views expressed in this blog are the personal and often obscured views, half-finished thoughts, and incoherent ramblings of Ben Woerner, and do not necessarily represent the clear views, completed thoughts, or profound statements of the Arizona Jewelers Association.  Anyone implying otherwise is itching for a fight and should just simmer down.

 

So what is a 31 year old kid (in this industry I’m just a whippersnapper) doing writing a blog about the jewelry industry, what qualifies me to be so presumptuous?
