With this being my first entry into my first blog let me just get some things off my back-
1) The term "blog"- After hearing about blogs and what they were it made me very angry everytime I heard the term "blog" and I went as long as i could without without actually saying the word "blog." (I didn't actually use the term until it was the answer on Jeopardy, and then I had to explain to my mommy what a blog was.) The word"blog" sounds like second grader terminology (ex- "you're a blog-head," "this pizza tastes BLOG," or "Does your mom take the pill? because I blogged inside her cunt last night.") "Blog" is not a word that should be used ina regular conversation, in fact I think it should be left out of the language all together, but since I do not have enough authority (yet) to decide what words can and cannot be used by the general populus, I'll just continue to not say it much and seldomly make refereces to it.

2) For a long time I asked myself "who are these people that think anyone, anywhere would ever want to read anything that they do dont get paid to write?" The state that our society is in today has almost completely eliminated reading. Why do people read? to get information, or to be entertained. Television gives us both. Whether it be news, a story, or a commentary on a subject, it can be found on tv. The only people that read are students, and how many of them enjoy it? Think of the last time you saw anyone sitting in front of a tv, thats not turned on, just reading (my last memory of that was 1992, my Dad reading the sports page and telling me that Drew Bledsoe could throw a football through my chest). So why would you believe that anyone living in a society that doesnt like reading would want to read something that you wrote, especially when you're obviously not talented enough to get paid to write something real. We all have the option of reading something written by a professional, something written by you or not reading at all. Which do you think everyone outside of your immediate family is going to choose?
Now this begs the question, "but Mike, if you feel that nobody's blog will every be read by anyone, why are you writing yours? is yours different or are you just a jackass?"
Here's what I believe about this little project:
1) NOBODY will read this, there are a lot of dumb people out there, but nobody is dumb enough to read this
2) I believe this is different from anyone elses, the difference being that mine is better, this very well could make me a jackass.

Thank you for your time, and if you made it this far then you're welcome to come back, because it can't get any worse, and it's not like there's anything better to do than read this garbage.
