Yes, yes, I know… This is more or less just a desperate plea for attention, which, while somewhat less dramatic than, say, juggling skunks whilst doused in gasoline whilst tightrope walking over a bonfire, is really only slightly less stupid. It’s also less impressive, but it’s less dangerous as well, and anyhow, I don’t enjoy being pungent and flammable. So! Blogging: a better option for communicating, “Look at me!”
“So,” you, the poor innocent reader who has remained on this page for inexplicable reasons, ask, “what are you going to blog about? Are you taking up dangerous wild-animal-and-fire-related activities? I do hope you are wearing flame-retardant pajamas for safety; do they make those in adult sizes?”
Ignoring the facetious latter questions, I respond to the question of the blog matter. My goal is not to write a personal blog. If you know me, you probably already know enough about my life to render a blog about my day-to-day doings boring. If you don’t know me, 1) I can’t imagine how or why you are reading this, but good for you, and 2) you probably don’t care about my prosaic existence. What I do plan to blog about is a wee, tiny bit about my life, but mostly about my perspective on social and political happenings. My point of view is not unique, necessarily, but I do belong to a demographic – Kids These Days – that doesn’t have a prominent voice in political discourse. Because of this, coupled with a desperate need for attention, I’ve decided to do some bloggin’.
Let the foolishness commence!
