I am the way to the doleful city...
Well, hats off for the inaugural entry to my new blog. I would break a bottle of champagne over my keyboard, but why waste any? Also, spilling champagne on the keyboard is a good way to make it not work right anymore. Trust me, I know these things (damn number pad enter key, always wanting to stick...).
I'm not entirely certain why I'm even bothering to do this. It's not like anybody will ever see this, and I certainly doubt I'll have the persistence to keep it up. At the moment I've decided to quit smoking (let's see how long that lasts) and this is something amusing to keep me from wanting to murder lots of people in a nicotine-deprived Rage. Also, the time changed last night and today has been interminably long. I've read, watched tv, and played video games and barely a few hours have passed. Also, it's not like there's anything on tv to watch on the Other Sabbath.
This site is mostly the result of my need for basic human contact. Since I don't really have any friends or anything I can keep a few imaginary ones in that glowing box that I use to check my email and just talk to them about things. That way I can get out the need to ramble about amusing stories or annoying facts while not boring the few people who actually talk to me with the unnecessary details about what I'm interested in. Because heavens forfend anybody should actually learn a few useless facts (around 90% of the cows in the South-East are carriers of the bovine leukemia virus, or some such!). And the ones who actually don't mind learning new things always to not seem to care about the things that have absolutely no practical application. This way I can talk about the odd things I seem to need to talk about without having to keep that captive audience bound and gagged in my shower.
After my abortive Halloween a few evenings ago I realized that I really need to get a life, though, and I assume that this will lead me to a place where I'm so busy trying to pound out (heh!) updates that I won't have time to realize how abysmally I'm failing in that task. So sit back and enjoy, because I'm sure this is going to be a horribly dismal ride into an obviously disturbed psyche.
