Who invented blogging? Does anyone have the answer? I am quite seriously interested to know. Who was the first person to make a concious decision to share their innermost thoughts with the world (wide web)? Does that person now stand on a street corner and yell to everyone who can hear, "HEY! I invented blogging! No wait, it's true! COME BACK HERE!" Yeah, I sit here at my 'pooter and make fun of said person.......while I myself am, indeed, blogging. D'oh!
I've read a few random blogs recently and find some with more comments than I can count. Well.....alright, I don't need to count them because it tells you exactly how many comments are there, but you catch my drift. However, this concept of "superstar blogging" poses some interesting questions. What is it about these "popular" blogs that draws people back to them again and again? Do these bloggers know all these people that are commenting? What makes them so interesting? Does this outfit make me look fat? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? And so on and so forth?
Well, I know the answers to none of these questions. I don't even want to begin to try and warp my mind around them. I have no idea what compels so many people to come back for every entry written by Joe Blow from Randomville, USA. The only thing I can do is try and come up with something myself. What is it that will cause you, the reader, to come back and see what wit and wisdom I just might have to spew forth onto your computer monitor? How about this....
Look a little familiar? Yeah, pretty much the same thing I did on the last entry. Different song though.
And that's pretty much what I have to offer. Oh, I'll probably come up with some fun and interesting topics to blather on about. But, mark my words, you will get to see me lipsynch a different rock ballad in each and every entry. Who wouldn't keep coming back for that? Crazy people, that's who! That, and pagans.
Not to mention a little random cuteness like this......
Oh yeah. You know you'll be back.

Told you there'd be more to come.....just took me awhile
Honestly, folks, I really am not much of a fan of writing. Really, I don't. The fact should speak for itself in that the inaugural entry for this blog was back in August and it is now late January.....of the next year.....Hey! There's one promise I can make when it comes to this blog. You will never ever find any tampering with the space-time continuum within the text of these literary works. I mean it! Doc Brown wasn't messing around when he tried to warn Mcfly. I have no desire to go back to 1885, let me tell you!
All that aside, regardless of my lack of enthusiasm for the art of written word composition, I do enjoy reading my own material. Yeah, yeah, go ahead and label me an egotist, but the fact is, I really do enjoy my own creations. Plus, I just discovered that you can do this in these blogs.....
Seriously......who wouldn't want to get involved with blogging when you can do such things!
Seriously, why does Winger get such a bad rap? I challenge you to listen to the song "Down Incognito" and not nod your head to the beat at least a little.
Suddenly I find myself in a quandry. How in the world am I supposed to segue into a semi-serious topic. Hmmmmm........I guess I can't. I'll just move on.
I'm not much into politics. Sure, I don't want the wrong candidate elected into office, but I find debates and all the other hooplah leading up to an election a tad on the boring side. However, if I must choose a political stance, I will usually vote republican. What's my reasoning? Well, besides the fact that Alex P. Keaton was one......I guess I just have to go with the fact that all the presidents that I have liked (who held office during my own lifetime) were republicans. And yes, this includes good ol' Dubya. But, an interesting dilema is put forth this leap year. Those of us who side this way find ourselves in danger of two things come November. We run the risk of being labeled either racists or misogynists. I'm not saying everyone shares this thinking, but I'm sure there are those exteme left-wing liberals out there. No, I don't have a solution, or even a snappy comeback for such thinking. Just thought I'd put it out there.
I think that's enough out of me for now, except to say.......have you ever seen a pair of cuter little boys?
I didn't think so.
