Into the blog-sphere shuffles yet another...

After exploring so many of Google's other offerings I have decided to explore Blogger as well. I'm trying to remember when I first heard the term 'blog' or weblog... I know it was from my friend Jeff B. I know we were sitting in a restaurant on the northwest side of the Twin Cities. I know it was winter. That's where the knowing ends. Maybe 2002?

IMHO it's simply a more crystalline version of the early personal web pages. Hollow autobiographies, patchwork fan sites, pointless manifestos and populist screeds. I promise that mine will be no different. Or at least not much. "I wuv me" will be my topic, my theme, guaranteed to irritate and bore even the people I mention in my irregular entries. You, dear audience member, will not be punished for reading, but you shan't be mollycoddled either. Be prepared to wade through bad spelling, poor word choice and worse grammar in pursuit of vaguely reasoned arguments and egocentric ravings. The crux of any given paragraph will be alternatively obscured, irrational, irrelevant or heavy handed, occasionally wistful and periodically preachy. It is doubtful that the sum of any given entry will culminate in anything satisfactory. You may expect to come away feeling anything from somewhat unsettled to almost insulted.

This is my weblog. Welcome, I guess.
