Welcome to the 113 783 859th blog to hit the internet!  Isn’t it exciting?  113 783 859.  Say it out loud.  Just rolls off the tongue, so graceful and full of yeccccccccchhhhhhh.  I cannot believe I am this far behind the curve.  Ridiculous.  There I was, thinking I was very technologically inclined, a somewhat decent writer, looking for a way to get my ideas out of my head and into the world, as it was getting kind of crowded in there.  Then I hear about this phenomenon known as blogging.  Everyone is doing it, it’s so easy, blah blah blah.  Heard it all before, sounds like a lot of work for not that much pay off.  I was never one for writing in a journal or a diary or anything silly like that.  I enjoyed writing the occasional story, but never kept a running narative of my thoughts.   Perhaps this is why blogging was such a strange concept for me.  Why on earth would anyone want to read what I have to say?  Or about what’s going on in my life?  I don’t even want to read that, let alone write it.

Then something happened to me that hadn’t happened since I was 14 years old, I found myself without a job.  Terminated due to lack of business.  Not that it was a great job or anything, in fact it was probably the worst I had ever had.  However, it gave me something to do while waiting to go to school this fall, and allowed me to live on my own during this time (always a bonus).  Now I find myself essentially broke, and bored out of my mind.  I sit in my apartment all day, waiting for phone calls from employers that rarely come, playing internet poker with the little money that I have left in my online account and reading.  I don’t have cable, as it was that or the internet.  I can’t even watch Drew Carey screw up the Price is Right!

So what to do with all the time I now find on my hands?  I have loads of opinions on just about everything under the sun, whether it be politics, world issues, or the way Stephen Colbert’s hair looks when his stylist calls in sick (check out Feb. 2nd, 2009 episode of The Colbert Report, you’ll see what I mean).  Blogging seems like it could be the answer.  Who knows though?  Maybe it’s not.  Maybe I’m wasting my time.  Good thing I have loads of it.
