Welcome to the blog world, me!

Well, I guess it's time I'd graduated from the MySpaces, Facebooks, and Twitters of the world, and leaped headlong into the world of the blog -- or the "realsies blog," if you prefer. Hopefully, on a semi-regular basis, I'll be writing some deep thoughts, not-so-deep thoughts, and perhaps some exerpts from some writings or other random witicisms. I say hopefully, because I know that, as I write this, a few immediate roadblocks come to mind:


1) I am lazy. If the choice ever befalls me, whether to blog or whether to do something that requires less effort -- say, sleeping, or reading a good novel -- then you can safely bet, without fear of losing your life savings, that I won't be blogging that day. Is it something that I'm working on? Quite frankly, no. That would defeat the purpose of being lazy.

2) Not only am I lazy, I'm also incredibly flighty. The fact that I've managed to stay on one topic for, geez, three mini-paragraphs now -- even if the topic is "personal defects" -- is somewhat of a boon for me. This is why I feel like I'm leading you on by promising "semi-regular" reports. It's probably not going to happen, unless someone ends up paying me for my efforts. Which, as we all know, isn't going to happen.

3) Above all else, I'm supefyingly boring. It's not that I don't like things. I enjoy lots of things. Problems arise when the things I enjoy are things that no one else is even remotely interested in. And it's not like I'm only interested in recreating Bob Ross paintings or carving Star Wars figurines out of rubber erasers. I like music of all sorts, particularly jazz, funk, and blues; British culture and politics -- and British personalities -- interest me greatly, even if I happen to be as American as a bald eagle playing baseball while Mom sits in the bleachers eating apple pie (which is a lie, I'm not even a third that American). Technology is amusing, to various degrees; I enjoy playing video games, my myriad of woodwind instruments, and even sometimes *cough* Dungeons and Dragons (on occasion)*cough*. And while all this doesn't seem boring on the surface, people tend to be bored quickly with things that aren't mirror images of themselves, or at least uniformly relevant to their interests.

I won't be uniformly relevant to anyone's interests, probably not even my own. But dammit, I'm willing to give it a go. If people want to follow, comment, point-and-laugh -- great. If not, I'll continue the fine tradition of talking to myself in silly accents and random colloquilisms.
