Blog Post the First

Why am I writing this blog? That is the true question. Actually, there’s not much of an answer: I’m bored at work. Sure there are other things I could be doing right now such as Solitare, reading a book, actually doing my work, or falling asleep on the keyboard. But on this historic day I’ve decided to begin writing a blog.

Now I’m sure that this announcement is causing you to become filled with questions such as: will this thing actually be interesting? Or: Crap, do we have to suffer through another kid externalizing his emo feelings? Well, the answer to both questions is a resounding “NO”. I think that a man should have no emotion and should never cry, unless it’s a happy cry over some steak cooked perfectly. If by some freak of nature that the planets align, there’s a full moon, it’s Friday the 13th and the San Francisco Giants win the pennant, all causing a man to feel emotion, then the last thing he should do is share with friends, quasi-friends who found the blog through facebook, or creepy stalkers who roam the Internet. No, if a man feels his heart quiver for whatever reason his only options are to drink heavily, play rugby, or preferably both.

So this blog will probably not cover much new ground. Thanks for tuning in I guess, but don’t expect to experience some life changing realization about life or hear one of my deep dark secrets (I once ate a worm when I was six). Instead what this blog will relate the random exciting experiences that punctuate the drudgery that is day to day life. Who knows, you might be able to relate to this blog after all.
