The Official First Post

All the cool kids are doing it.  That's why I'm being the lemming and starting a blog.  Oh, yeah.  And because I spent a bunch of money on a college degree that says that I am qualified herein to be a creative writer.  And God knows that since I graduated in 1996, I haven't written a goddam thing - unless you count strongly worded letters, and kitschy e-mails.  

And because I think it's funny to spew out the random thoughts that pop into my head throughout the day.

That being said, please do not expect that this blog is any sort of daily enlightenment for you, or that I'm going to provide you with pearls of wisdom and inspiration. I can barely inspire myself to get up in the morning.  I certainly do NOT need the added pressure of trying to inspire you.  Hell, I don't expect anyone to read this.  

Speaking of no one reading this... If you are reading this, please do us both a favor and don't leave any comments that tell me what an asshole I am, or how stupid my blog is, or how immature I am.  I don't care.  I'm not doing this for you.  This is all about me, and my (probably futile) attempt to make myself sit down and write on a daily basis.  If you like what you read, then by all means, let me know.  God knows my ego needs it.  Not that I'll believe you.  Just don't tell me how much I suck.  I can take care of that without you.
