Let's Start

I am the last person you would expect to have a blog. No, scratch that - I'm probably somewhere around the third or ninth millionth person you would expect to have a blog. That is assuming you have any expectations at all. And this does not include those starving poor kids they show on the commercials, or the hobos on the big city streets, or the people who can afford $400 haircuts or $100 suits, who I bet would not even bother composing their own blog entries anyway.

Blogging is very trendy, and what other excuse should a person need to start their blog? It gives us the opportunity to have our own public virtual space where we are able to share our most personal thoughts on anything with almost anyone, just until we're flamed for it. After reading so many blogs, however, you really get to thinking: Gee, there are way too many pointless Web logs on these internets we have today. Guess it means I should get started on mine... So here we are, discovering new ways to write pointless blog entries and rediscovering old ones, and writing about the ways the Internet brings us together.

Anywho, I'm sure you've realized by now that this blog isn't so smart after all. It's smarterer. I'm not calling myself a genius or nothin', but I'm calling you, my reader, a little on the special side - and I don't mean that as a compliment. When I talk about "smarterer," I'm referring to the potential of all of us. Like a wise man once claimed, "even if standardized tests prove that our kids aren't getting smarter, if we just change our standards, we have a hope of making them smarterer."

I wonder what I'm going to blog about.
