As I have never blogged before, I have no idea what I'm doing. If you are currently reading this, I'm sorry.

Some things to know about me:

1. I am not funny. Well, I like to think I'm funny, but most people don't catch on to my dry sense of humour.

2. This blog is going to be used as a repository of my inane ramblings, musings, and various brick-a-brak. You may find it informative; you may even find it entertaining, but probably not. Anyway, as such a repository, I will only post when I feel like it.

3. I am a conservative Christian who believes in the Constitution as written by the Founders of the United States of America. If you have a problem with any of that, I will probably end up offending you.

What Makes a Blog Post?

It has recently occurred to me that it's been over a month since I last made a post, and figured it was past time to do that.  Unfortunately, the thing I wanted to post on (i.e. the thing most on my mind at present) will take some (more) time to complete.  So I think I'll just say that it's in the works and ramble on a little bit more so maybe and perhaps you won't feel like your time was wasted for looking at this post that is not truly a post.
 But now that I think about it, what makes a blog post?  On the Blogoshpere, it could be some kind of heart-felt work of semi-literature carefully constructed to convince a madly busy world that your life was not vain, for this, yes, this thing is something you created, bearing a part of your soul amid the relentless bustle of our near mindless, post-industrial society.  But most of the time, it's a cacophonous admixture of flagrant plagiarism, raving lunacy, random things you took pictures of, and rants about how awesome/horrible Justin Bieber is to no one in particular.
How, then, can I say that this post is not truly a post?  I know not, as it seems to fit some of the above criteria.  All I can say is that there are better things we could all be doing instead of paying so much attention to useless crap on the internet.
But, what do I know?

... Winter is coming...

  1. "What makes a blog post?" Alphanumerical characters in my experience.Yes, pictures can be used, but there really always should be some text involved somewhere.

    And for the record, I have never posted about Justin Bieber and will continue to deny his existence.
