What's wrong with the world?

Hello people of the interwebernets, I mean you no harm.

So this is my inaugural post and to get to this stage was a journey enough.

First hurdle: Web Name

It is surprisingly hard to think of something that will pretty much summarize who you are to people who have and probably will never meet you. Many things were ruled out.

Porno-holocaust
Brug
Devoltuion
Robrug

So in my desperation I turned to iGod. He didn't help much.

So I decided on X, where X = A good web name.

Next Hurdle: What do I have to say that people want to hear?

... nothing,

generally.

So when I was looking for a name I found something that quite shocked me. I was searching hat pokemon (don't ask why, its long and convoluted) and I came across something that destroyed my general view on things, pokemon porn.

How can searching google for hat pokemon bring up porn? It raises some fundamental questions about the human psyche I won't even ask.

So basically my thought train permanently derailed and I can't think of anything to say but the journey of thinking of things to say.

That is all.

a purposely inauspicious start

ATTN: Surly counter people, located everywhere I bought something today.

I have worked (and still work) behind counters! I understand your pain! HOWEVER: even though it is a lovely day outside, you still have to at least pretend to smile. Otherwise assholes like me will notice your surliness, fake a ridiculously over-the-top sunshine-y attitude, and annoy you so much that you become even more surly.

Although, in some places the surliness is almost endearing. Almost. For example, if I want a sandwich, I get it from the horrible screeching lady at the nearby independent sandwich shop, instead of Subway. There's just something about her deliberate inattention to the menu, the slapped-together leakiness of the sandwiches, something that keeps me coming back for more.

also, I should add: hello, world.

A practical discussion on the behaviour of fireflies

Hazzah First post.

So this is the beginning of a blog eh? We've spent how many years on the internet without doing this, why?

Now I think the cause behind this is my inherent backwardness. This condition allows be to strive to do new things, only in reverse. Let me explain..

Twitter, that thing. The thing that you do when you want to ignore people, or if you want to look like you are talking to friends (but you aren't really). That started it all, for me at least, and from micro-blogging I've moved up to blogging. Next will perhaps be weblogging (wiki that I dare you) followed by a diary of some type.

It's going to be one hell of a journey, are you excited? Well you should be, otherwise why are you here? Ok, so there are a hundred reasons to be here most of them not exciting but I choose to invent my own image for the mysterious being known as 'the reader'.

So 'the reader' aka Sean Connery during the filming of the 1964 film Goldfinger. Would you agree this is the most random way to start a blog? Is this blog going to work? Will my co-writer turn this into an indie music site and have his loyal followers fill the comments pages with names of bands I don't know (yes)? Do I need to go to sleep so I can show up to work on time tomorrow?

In time I hope the answers to these questions will be a strong and resounding

maybe.
