A reintroduction to bitterness
this entry brought to you by radiohead, "kid a"
The first time I did an introduction for a webpage, it was unsure, tentative, and, honestly, a bit bumbly. Mostly because at the time I only had a vague idea as to exactly what I wanted the page to be about. Now, however, it's been four years to the month since I first started doing this sort of thing, and if my previous server-- scribble.nu-- hadn't gone down for weeks at a time during its last year of existence, I'd have done well over 1,100 entries. As it is I've 980 something entries under my belt.
Why am I bothering telling you this, you, who's probably never even heard of me? I don't know. To set this apart? There are only three hundred thousand million blogs on blogger.com, some of which have been around years. So if I were to sum up this introduction in a few words, I'd say: I MEAN BUSINESS.
MISSION STATEMENT
* Words and Ramblings will be written and posted daily. Except when I absolutely, positively cannot make my self imposed deadline. But it's a self imposed deadline, so if I miss it, well, shit happens.
* Words and Ramblings will have a different topic every day. Except when I decide to spread the same topic over a period of several days. Key thing here, though, is that I will have honest-to-god topics.
* Words and Ramblings will never be about stupid day-to-day shit. You'll never read about how so-and-so at work is such a dick and I hate him, and my supervisor's such a jerk, and this is how class was and yadda yadda yadda. I also promise never to gush, post after post, about how much I love my wife and/or kid.
* Words and Ramblings will not be one of those blogs where I do a quiz a day, post the results, and do not add any extra commentary. If I post quiz results, it will be on a rare filler day, and I promise to add something else to it.
* Words and Ramblings will be mostly humor, often political, sometimes outright silly, occasionally serious, and never personal enough to bore you. If it bores you, it'll be for other reasons. It may contain jokes you won't get, and it might-- might offend you-- and I swear to God, you'll rarely read a blog that uses swear words with such a fucking huge frequency as effectively.
* Words and Ramblings will always be bitter. Unless I'm intentionally being sweet. Which I never am.
* Words and Ramblings will not be worth reading every day. This is a promise.
* Words and Ramblings will be worth reading sometimes. This is a promise.
