First Post!

Honestly, I never expected to be doing this. I've always felt that starting a blog was somewhat of a hubristic journey for the author. With all the blogs out there, do people really think there's is so special? I've changed my mind. There are things worth blogging for. I don't think my blog is any more special than any other no-name out there but it's mine. For me, this is my expression of immortality. I certainly will not live forever, but this could potentially live forever. Most people express their innate desire for immortality by having children -- which is great. However, as I approach 40, this looks ever so unlikely for someone so independently inclined as I. So, instead I offer this weak form of immortality. Perhaps one day my cousin's children will want to look into family history and find this. (They are really the only ones to keep the family line alive so godspeed to them!) This is the genealogy of me -- nothing more, nothing less.

Now for some clues as to what you can expect from this blog:

I will probably not post every day. This isn't a time constraint issue, but more of a "I don't really have anything of value to say every day" kind of deal.

I will say things that may be offensive. It's not that my intention is to be offensive, but I think we pull too many punches in this world. This puts honesty in the dark with mushrooms and shit with only the mushrooms and shit prospering.

I will say things that are hypocratic. I don't want to be a hypocrite. I try not to be a hypocrite. But damnit if I'm not occasionally a hypocrite just like every other poor bastard out there. The first thing is to admit you have a problem...

I will use foul language. I know the old saying that foul language is the crutch of the uncreative, and fuckall if they aren't right! If I was truly creative, I would be writing books and making shitloads of money. I'm not. Let the truly creative light the way while I sit here and admire their fucking creativity. Fuck them and their fucking little high horses.

I realize that there will probably never be more than a half dozen people that read this thing -- ever. That's cool. Like I said before, this isn't ego trip -- this is about immortality (which of course has nothing to do with ego).

I will completely hork English grammar rules. I do this with glee since the english language is a giant clusterfuck of inconsistency. Instead, I will impose my own darwinian rules for grammer. If you don't like it, I suggest you read some other nobody's blog who actually gives a shit.

Now onto some real blogging...
