sphincter don't fail me now

ah the proverbial first post. i shall now take this time to enlighten you with my musings about this peculiar social phenomenon that is the blog. the world currently has a curious fascination with blogs for some reason. particularly people on cnn and msnbc love to talk about blogs, even though none of them post or read blogs. but it seems about every week they have some sort of blogging expert on to discuss what the buzz on the blogs is. 'ooh whats going on in the blogosphere???' who gives a damn? apparently there are people who spend 12 hours a day reading blogs. get a life. or read a book, it's more interesting.

there's been alot of talk about blogs in the past year or so, but they're not new, just the word is new. i had a livejournal in 2001, and i had my own website that i posted to regularly in 1998. and i certainly wasn't an early adopter in that field. so what's the big deal with blogs? the answer is obvious: people are idiots.

you are now five minutes older and significantly less intelligent than you were when you started reading this pretentious drivel. congratulations. you will be receiving a gift basket and a kick in the head in 6-8 weeks. i assure you that if my short attention span doesn't make me lose interest in this blog in 2 weeks (which it certainly will) and i keep posting, this entry will be the most coherent that i submit.
