i hate the word blog

i am pretty sure that i have sworn multiple times, to several people that i would never do a blog. the reasons for this are many and for the most part, i still consider this approach to weblogs to be rather accurate. i hate the word "blog" and i hate reading people's blogs that teeter between the trumpeting of one's cool and the lamenting of life in order to present oneself as "deep" and "elevated" above others.

insomuch as i have refused to blog, i have also refused to join myspace, watch the oc, ever leave california, wear boxers, and a considerable list of others that i have at one point vehemently opposed, only now to embrace and enjoy.

so when i came home from work today to learn that my wife started a blog, and thus suggested that i should do the same; without hesitation, i jumped in.

this may be the first of many.
this may be the only.

i have no idea why anybody would take time out of their busy world wide web surfing to read what i have to say about anything, but i suppose there are some gluttons for punishment.

out of fear that i am coming across as a pretentious jerk now, i shall say no more at this time.
