To blog or not to blog . . .

Yes this is the first real post of what surely must be the least hyped, anticipated by no one, non-event in history. The launch of blog #1,549,442 by Random McTalentless, who somehow thinks that someone other than him wants to hear about the voices in his head.

So I probably have been kicking around the idea of having my very own blog since, oh, a few minutes after I first found out what the hell a blog was. But I am inherently lazy and never found sufficient motivation to get one started, and then before I knew it everyone had a blog, or a My Space page, or their own website, or a ham radio, carrior pigeon, semaphore code, etc. So then it was "well, I can't do that now, because EVERYBODY's doing it." I guess it is some ridiculous form of counter pop-culture impulse inside me that chooses to only selectively rear its head at the strangest time. At the same time, I suppose I always thought that if I was ever gonna spend the time to write about something, I would be better served working on one of the four novels I have begun but yet to get past page 10 on. At any rate, in the end I decided that even though it is completely unnnecesary, and even though few people are ever gonna read it, and even though my time is probably better spent doing other, more productive things, I like to write, and I want to do this, so I'm gonna do it. I'd like to also insert here the generic entry on how I will be looking to modify and improve how the page looks over the coming months and I will eventually get around to explaining why I named this blog what I did, and so on. But since I have been thinking for 3 weeks about how best to introduce this blog and came up with exactly nothing I am just gonna cut the backstory short (Too late!) here and just start.
