Justify your blog

After some dabbling I can see this is going to be quite fun. So a mission statement is in order. A manifesto, a pledge. A promulgation. Heh. This is for the benefit of both you, my nonexistent readers, and myself. Mostly you. Even though you aren't there. Here it is:

This blog will not in any way facilitate the talking (writing) about me, by me (myself/I).

Thats it. Theres nothing more fucking tedious than reading some dudes "world view", or a story about my cat, or what a dreadful day I've had type blog. Thats why I dont read blogs.

Not to mention, a somehow far more satisfying indulgence than keeping a diary, which is just shit; if I'm going to bore myself witless writing and rehashing internet based verbal bumdrips, at least I can take some of you down with me.

Part inspired by watching some of the fucking weirdos extroverts that the interweb has seen fit to give carte blanche to, this seems a rather modest endeavour all told. Whether or not it is one I'll continue to invest my precious and irrevocable and oh sweet jesus I can literally see it falling out of me time in, we'll see. In the meantime, I'm going to post up a bunch of shit to see how my page looks.
