Well, it's been previously stated that whenever I get around to jumping on the technology bandwagon, the trend has reached complete market saturation. I have always dragged my feet when it came to upgrading to the newest technology or participating in the latest fad. Part of this is because I am extremely lazy and unwilling to put forth any individual effort. The other factor is that I am an extremely cheap individual. Some might say niggardly. (Of course said people would immediately be tackled by members of the ACLU and subsequently beaten into a sticky paste.) Unwilling to part with my hard earned cash, I still lug about a cell phone that is heavy enough to beat a man into unconscioness. I've never spent more than $20 on a video game (though I've owned dozens), and my car is old enough to drink alcoholic beverages.
So why blog? Why bother to participate in this particular social phenomenon. The short answer - it's free. The not as short answer - arrogance. As all writers do, I'm operating under the assumption that people will find what I have to say exceedingly interesting, moderately entertaining, or at least unexplainably addictive. The least shortest answer - hope. As mentioned previously, I'm inherently lazy. While I hold grand aspirations of being a well-published author, I rarely put forth any effort into writing outside of my job. In fact, I spend most of my time talking myself out of writing. I am inherently afraid that I am not nearly as intelligent or funny as I think I am, and the moment anyone reads anything I have written, they will see through to the babbling moron that lies within. With this blog, I hope to take a few of the first steps in changing this. (The being afraid part, not the babbling moron part...though I should probably look into working on that as well.)
