Hello world!
August 18, 2008
This is my first blog. Please be gentle (actually, please do not. Rip this blog up. Any criticism will only help me become proficient at this whole ‘lecturing people like I know better than everyone else and my opinion is worth hearing’ thing. And if I get upset and threaten you with violence, don’t worry. It will only be an INTERNET threat of violence).
… and the cow goes moo
It’s 6:15am EST, I’ve been up since just midnight after a splendid 45 minute sleep, and I am waiting for an 8am Team USA (Mamba Bryant and the guys who stand around as he jacks a trey after three jabsteps) vs. Germany (Irk and Chris Caveman) game. The Olympics have totally fucked up my sleeping schedule so I cannot help but wake up at about 1:30am. And I don’t feel sleepy again until 8am. I think all the best blogs are started in this way.
Most importantly though is that I desperately want to make the cut for a Masters in Journalism program in 2009, yet I have no journalism experience and my writing ability has only declined since high school, along with my arrogant self-certainty and ability to make declaratives with such force and hubris that I can shift another’s opinion from sensible to nonsensical. It was a deliberate effort to lose that faux-intellectual macho streak, but man do I miss it sometimes. Feeling like I might actually be wrong during an argument takes some getting used to…
Hopefully this blog will help me practice my technical writing, allow me to put ‘important’ thoughts to digital paper, and maybe make a minor contribution to this wonderful trove of tits and knowledge called the Internet (I’ll try to become proficient at making contributions to information before I move up to the more-advanced task of adding to the Internet’s tit stock). I’ll certainly need all the technical ability I can get if I intend to become a eunuch journalist (if a journalist’s arrogance isn’t like a penis, I don’t know what is).
