So I Begin...

..with creating this personal blog. I've blogged for other people's blogs, I've blogged for other people's companies, but I haven't really blogged for myself since Myspace.com, circa 2004, ruled the indie world. Even then, it was a sporadic blogging, the occasional post with a survey or a funny (well, I thought they were funny) musing on my page.

I like the idea of blogs - informal, chatty forums for the whole world to connect on. However, most of the personal blogs I've read make me want to stab my eyes out and let the contents of my head slowly ooze onto my keyboard - just like Oedipus, so I don't have to see the evils of the world. I hope you enjoy reading my blog. I hope you come back and check up on me occasionally, to make sure I'm still breathing. I hope you value that you will never, ever, EVER see an emoticon used on my blog. Emoticons are for cheaters, those who can't express themselves or their intentions with words, and have to use stupid smiley faces to get their point across. I'm a lot of things, friend, but a cheater I'm not.

So...hi.
