Correction, maybe I should say that it?s the depth at which people care which is new to me.  I have had my own website for about three years now, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mikeyllo.com\">www.mikeyllo.com<\/a>, and even post some of my work on the usual suspects, MySpace and Facebook under the screen name mikeyllo.  However, people want more.  They know I?m working on a novel that will be out in 2084, but they want to know what I?m doing now, if I?ll ever graduate from college, and, most importantly, who I think will be voted off American Idol and Survivor this week.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I?ve created this blog.  It will give me a way to check in with those that ?care??? more frequently.  You won?t have to ask how my day was or if I?ve finally finished the first page of my book after three years of trying because, through my blog, you will know.  It?s truly a win for everyone.  On top of that, I think blogs are the new journal and all three of you who will eventually read my blog because you stumbled across it by accident will be able to go through the archives and see what was on my mind on 5\/15\/09.  Kinda cool, right?<\/p>\n<p>That being said, I?m very happy to take this journey with you.  And, who knows, if my book gets pushed back to 2085, at least we?ll have these fond memories to laugh, joke, and cry about along the way.  Because this WILL be a daily thing?I think?I?ll keep the posts relatively short unless the need requires me to do a ten-page essay on my latest experience at Wal-Mart.  (I love Wal-Mart by the way.  We?ll get to that another time though.)<\/p>\n<p>Michael Rochelle<\/p>\n<p>P.S.  I had this random thought today when someone said that blood was thicker than water.  If that?s so, does that mean that the bodies of our family members that we have a falling-out with will sink faster in case you accidentally push them into the Pacific because they ate the last strip of bacon?  Things that make you go hmm?    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something that I recently learned is that people care.
