Okay, I have a blog.
Don't get all up my butt about it if you're the type who hates blogs. I hate 'em too. Hate 'em, hate em, hate 'em. I was so busy hating them, I never noticed how addicted I was to reading them. It then occured to me that I might enjoy writing one. If only as a record of myself for me to read somewhere down the road.
But seeing as how I hate blogs, and seeing as how you just might hate them too, How about if I start by making a few promises?
1) I promise I won't use this blog as some sort of showcase for what an amazing arty intellectual interesting (insert adjective here) person I am. I don't actually know what I'm gonna write in here, but I'll do my best to try not to impress you.
2) I promise I won't use this blog to preach to you. Sure, politics are bound to come up... Religion too. But let's agree that my opinions are mine, and you have yours and I'm all kinds of cool with that. I'm not arrogant enough to think I have the only right answer. Or even that I have the right answer at all.
3) No pictures of my cats. Don't get me wrong, I love my cats. A lot. But you don't need to see them every time they do something cute.
4) I promise to make spelling errors. Also grammatical errors. I've probably made a few already. If you're the type who likes to jump up a guy's bung-hole every time he uses "it's" the wrong way, then let's agree this isn't the place for you. Get over yourself.
5) I promise to do my best to make this fun. Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. I'm not the grouchy guy you may be thinking I am right now. If you're actually taking the time to read this, then I owe you a debt of thanks. I mean, I say I'm doing this for me, but we both know I'm doing it for you. I already know what's in my head.
Okay! I feel better. Now we're all on the same page. Again, thanks for reading. Check back later and there may be something much more exciting and salacious posted.
But probably not.
