“Why the blog,” you ask? “After all,” you continue, “you have everything: great friends, a wonderful family, acceptably symmetrical nostrils, a whimsical sense of despair, calves the size of calve-sized grapefruits, an adorable habit of eating cake with your hands, almost no conceivable free time whatsoever, and an incredibly realistic-looking tattoo of the invisible man on your forhead. What more could you want?”
My responses (I have two):
1) You misspelled “forehead.”
2) Huh??
OK, I do have the great friends and family, I’ll grant you that. In fact, part of the reason for starting up my own personal blog was because I’ve been horrible at keeping in touch lately (read: “since 2001”). This is my way of keeping people in the loop. Granted, it’s a little lame to write a post and expect people to flock to the blog with bated breath when they’re just as busy as (if not busier than) I am. But it’s a step toward being more communicative. And I hope you, my friends, family, and potential stalkers (harmless ones only, please) will interact by leaving relevant comments which, in theory, I’ll respond to.
Besides, since I decided to set up two other blogs (www.flexibleplanetblog.com and www.polyglotsanonymous.com), adding a third was a piece of cake. And since almost everyone else has a blog, I figured it was time to grab my share of the cybercake with both hands. (Yes, I do eat cake with my hands. We already went over this.)
Anyway, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, I hope that those of you who like this kind of blog will find that this is the kind of blog you like. And to paraphrase William Shakespeare, where did these otters come from, where did they get ski masks, and how did they figure out how to load my rifle?!
And I mean that. Really.
Thanks for reading!
