It's About Time This Idiot Posted Something!

I know, I know. It's been a long time since I started this blog and I have done nothing since then. Well, I am going to do nothing for awhile longer. At least a few hours. Sorry. Life takes precedence and you really don't care that much about my ramblings yet anyway. Maybe you will care someday. I just wanted to put something on "paper" because this tabula rasa thing is killing me.

For now, you can call me Spike. If I start writing lots of stuff that might offend people or get death threats for me or my family, I will probably keep the nom de guerre. If I write about puppies and trips to the beach, I'll let you know who I really am. Since I have no idea what I am going to write about, let's just keep things anonymous for now, eh?

First, a few things:

1) I am a really bad typist. I will do my best to proofread but please forgive my stubby, sausage-like fingers. Do not mistake bad typing for a lack of intelligence or assume that I don't know how to spell.

2) I am profane. I swear, a lot sometimes. If this offends you, you may wish to move along.

3) I am a liberal, trapped in red-state hell. You may wish to move along if this bothers you but you are welcome to stay and to state any agreements or disagreements with me, no matter how vehement.

4) I am a sports fan. Over time, I imagine my favorite teams will give away some personal knowledge of me but for now, I will keep that a secret too. I intend to write about sports, at least a few times here and there.

5) I am not sure how narcissistic I must be to assume that my blog will be of any interest to you, but thank you for catering to my vanity, at least in increasing my page views.

6) I make no promises that this will be a daily blog. Ideally, I will try to post daily, but I know myself well enough to know that this will not happen. I have a family, I take vacations, I am frequently a fundamentally lazy person, so I just don't see a daily entry anywhere in the long-term future. Perhaps if the government incentivizes blogging I could be persuaded, but I don't see that happening.

I wouldn't say you're narcissistic for expecting anyone to read your blog, but you do come of very narcissistic for "hiding your true identity" as if anyone stumbling upon your blog would pick you out of a crowd of millions.
