Welcome to my blog! This is quite possibly the most ironic blog of all time, as I am completely anti-technology. Okay, maybe not completely, but I certainly have a mutual understanding for forced toleration with technology. I hate it, because it hates me. I don’t Facebook or MySpace, I think Twitter is one of the dumbest concepts I’ve ever heard of (even though I’ve never even been to the website) and I’ll go over a month without turning on my computer at home (the whole internet dating thing was a very bad idea for me).
“So why the hell would you start a blog?” you may ask. Well, many people have suggested that I start one due to their appreciation of my utterly absurd rants that I go on. I talk a lot. I ramble most of the time I talk. I inherited the ability to make a short story long and a long story longer, and I type like I talk. This has produced many oddball emails to friends while I’m bored at work and like I said, they encourage me to post them for all to read. Why anyone would want to read about the crap that comes out of my head, I don’t know, but alas, here we are.
So moving on with my story, I refused to start a blog because I can’t do it at work and I’m sure as hell not going to take away from my precious dvr time at home for such things. So the wonderful plan was scrapped along with all of my other wonderful ideas (you’ll get wonderful glimpses into these schemes as we progress) basically out of sheer laziness. That’s another important feature to know about me. The reason I’m the “idea” person and not the “follow-through” person really boils down to laziness and a general lack of enthusiasm for actually implementing my plans. I just like to come up with them, not do them.
Which again, brings me back to my point (oh yeah, I go off on a lot of tangents too). I recently went to see a movie (my friend gets free passes to sneak previews so I see a lot of free movies before they come out, which I’ll throw some reviews in for you too), which I called my brother to give him my review of. He suggested I start a movie review blog, but again I told him the technical difficulties of my starting such a thing. He recommended a blog where you can email your entries in (I assume it’s the same concept as Twitter, but I prefer not to think of it that way). I’d never heard of such a possibility, but was greatly intrigued by the idea. I had to find out if it was possible, but again, I knew I’d never do anything about it. So, I offered the task to my friend Jill. Within 5 hours of emails back and forth between work, she has created the glorious site for me (everyone give thanks to Jill for her techie-genius that allows me to do such things. . . she’s also great at finding examples of 80’s garb for Legwarmer shows!!!).
I expect the background will look like this (whatever it actually looks like) until I can meet up with her to make it reflect me. Luckily, she knows me well enough that I doubt there are pictures of unicorns or sections for news commentaries.
Well, I hope this long winded explanation of me and how this site got started hasn’t already turned you off of reading more. If so, sorry but I did warn you. If not, YEAH!!! Welcome to my world! Until next time, I’ll leave you with a quote my friend said when I made a comment about technology hating me. It’s my new motto. “Technology is something that was created for the purpose of ensuring that people younger than you can walk around with the superior attitude and laugh at how stupid you are.” - Kathy C.
