My First Blog Post Ever

This is my first blog post ever.  It's kind of exciting.  Who knows?  I might look back at this day with great fondness.  Like the first time I drank egg nog.  Or the first time I set foot in Stranglethorn Vale.  Or the first time I heard Toni Braxton sing.

I'm kidding about Toni Braxton.  I mean, I'm not going to lie to you and say the woman doesn't have a fabulous singing voice, but I don't really remember the first time I heard her sing.  I was probably too busy pressing a number on a wall that correlated to the floor I was intending to visit, or maybe I was choosing a nice head of lettuce.

Actually, the only reason why I brought Ms. Braxton up in the first place was because I'm shamelessly pandering to my reader.  Notice the non-pluralization of that word, reader.  I'm not counting me as a reader, since I'm the writer and I'm having a hard enough time with that job.  So there's only one person who will read this, I imagine.     

His name happens to be Joel, and among other things, he is my blog advisor.  As such, he has advised me to not make my blog posts very interesting, or else my fans will want more and more.  And I won't be able to deliver.  I respect his opinion.  Not that he is an expert blogger or anything, but he is really good at video games and shucking corn, and those things should count for something.

Seeing as I've not really said much of anything in this post, I'll stop writing.  That way, there's a chance that this post was just a tad interesting, enough that you'll subscribe to my blog, but perhaps boring enough that you won't be upset with me when I don't post again for 26 months.  

Until April of 2011...

  1. You made a first-rate splash with your entry into the blogging realm. I enjoyed it thoroughly. (Uh-oh, that's a bad sign for you.)

    I exprecially enjoyed the reference to WoW. Do you really remember the first time you drank eggnog?

    Keep up the good work. I (nearly) promise to (almost) never pester you for updates.

  5. You came to the right place for ideas, because as you can see , I am an idea man.

    Maybe you could post a Google doc spreadsheet itemizing each time you have drunk eggnog.

    Tell about a time when you had to take out the trash and you did not want to.

    Discuss you feelings on poetry, particularly the kind written by mopey, self-pitiers.

    Do you believe in Snuffleupagus? Expound.

    What is the best game you've ever played entailing shooting holes (or "portals," if you will) at walls while intently seeking cake?
