It's always seemed to me that the biggest presupposition underlying the blogging phenomenon is that one actually believes they have something worthwhile to say.
I assure you, immediately, that I do not.
As this is my first blog entry- my online de-virginization, if you will (and you will, won't you? Otherwise this will be a most disappointing endeavor) - I want to set the expectations as low as they can possibly be.
This way, it is guaranteed that I shall meet them.
Oddly enough, that's precisely how I made it through college, too.
I'm not at all certain why I'm beginning a blog, nor why I'm doing it during NATIONAL BLOGGING MONTH, for heaven's sake, making me perhaps the biggest lemming of all. I have been assured that it is fun (which so far, it has been), therapeutic (which, if true, will reduce a certain weekly expenditure and free up a certain hour -usually between 3 and 4 pm- where I am asked probing questions by a man who strangely resembles a goat) and is a sure way to make money.
Okay. That last one is a lie. No one ever said I'd make any money at this.
Regardless, I have this forum now, which will be read by all of two people (both of whom are related to me) and so I make this solemn pledge to all those who read: there will be tirades. There will be rants. There will be polemics against George Bush not simply because I hate him but because... oh, hell: yes, It's because I hate him. Nevetheless, tears will flow, laughter shall ring out, and there will be no long posts detailing what I had for lunch today. Because, as I've been warned, if you're blogging about lunch, no one cares.
Therefore, tomorrow there shall be a detailed description of what I ate for breakfast.
