Act I: In Which A Man Relents To The Voices in His Head

I'm not an avid blog reader because I seriously don't care what Joe Schmo thinks about movies, politics, ice cream, or anything else. Everyone has an opinion and, most of the time, I don't share it. The reverse will be true here.

I have mixed feelings about this whole blog thing. It's something I've thought about doing for a while but never allowed myself to start it. The idea of writing a blog implies that I think my thoughts and opinions are so important they need to be on the internet forever. It seems arrogant and it couldn't be farther from the truth. I know I'm not worth a shit and my opinion is usually grumpy, anti-establishment, and just as stupid as anyone else's with a lot of cuss words and apathetically hateful rhetoric thrown in for shock value.

Lately my mind never rests. I've been unable to focus on books, movies, or any other activity for long periods of time. I'm not obsessing but my mind wanders off to other things.

"No, it's not A.D.D. I'm thinking! 'Well you're not listening to me.' It's because I'm thinking about something that's more interesting than you!" - Doug Stanhope

I'm doing the blog for two reasons:
  1. To record my thoughts
  2. Catharsis 
If, in the process, people enjoy reading what I have to say, great. If people learn something, super great. If I change someone's mind on something, I'll be surprised. The bottom line is I don't expect anyone to care what I have to say on any topic. In the end I am another face in a crowd - another person with a voice on the internet.

Do blogs have themes? This one won't. It will cover many of the various thoughts that run through my skull. There will be rants, dark humor, long drawn out bullshit, possibly works of fiction, likely a good deal of politics, and  an ass-ton of cynicism. If I know sources offhand, I will cite them. However, in my 30+ years I have read a lot, learned a lot, and to this day, if I have an interest, I read up on it. I don't tend to take anyone's word without looking up the information on my own. As a result, it's hard for me to keep sources straight and I don't plan on looking each one up before posting a blog. Therefore, if you don't believe something I said, look it up for yourself, you lazy prick.

Also, I don't care if you disagree with me and I definitely don't want to have discussion with you. Besides, if you are not open to new ideas, willing to concede points, or are just going to argue your worldview with me no matter what, it wouldn't be a discussion anyways. Instead it would just be another pointless conversation in both of our days. These are my thoughts and my opinions. You don't have to agree with me and I don't need to hear your side of it. Also, if you offend easily, please go rape a retard instead of reading my blog.

If you know me, you will not likely take too much of what I say seriously. However, if you don't know me, please read the next sentence carefully. Should you find yourself about to start talking shit from the safety of your computer, shit on your hands and lick them. Why? Because fuck you. That's why. If that sounds harsh it's because you read it correctly. If you don't like what I have to say, don't read it. I could not care less. I will not entertain you. Move onto that blog about someone's experience at the Cheesecake Factory or whatever and try to get a reaction out of them.

I guess this will suffice as my first blog entry - an explanation and some ground rules. This if the first blog I've done so I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know how often it will be updated because I'm busy working and taking care of other responsibilities I don't always enjoy. Hopefully I'll have a real entry soon.
