Another One?

Well, in short...yes. It occurred to me the other day that I have an awful lot to say. Anyone who knows me knows that I like to tell stories. Long stories. In painful amounts of detail. Especially rant-y stories. Those are my favorite. And then I went to the gym on Tuesday night, for the first time in ages, and had a really good story to tell. (Well, at least I thought it was pretty good.) Only, even though it was an exercise story, I couldn't seem to find a spin that would make it a fit for the cycling blog. What do I do?! Torture cycle blog fans about crap they couldn't possibly care less about? Like torturing them about cycling isn't bad enough?

Then again...what if they did care? I mean, the whole concept of blogging revolves around people's self delusions that someone in this world other than themselves *really cares* about what they have to say, right? I'd hate to think I was depriving unknown millions of my wisdom, rants and observations of society's stupidity. I mean, I'm sure there aren't many blogs like that... HA! I can't even think that with a straight face... Still, i can't imagine one more sarcastic voice in blogosphere will really hurt anything (remind me to explain to you someday my utter hatred of words like "blogosphere") - and it might just keep my occupied and out of trouble for a whopping 20 minutes or so at a time.

So, what will you find here? No clue really. This won't be a daily rundown of my trips to the grocery store (unless its a rant about evil ladies with shopping carts) or how my day went at work (unless its an open letter to express my disappointment that the recent San Francisco protestors never made it to my office). I probably won't spend much time covering election '08 action (could you need more than CNN.com provides?) and I have no intention of putting up celebrity pictures and trying to craft cutesy joint names for new couples. Seriously. The plan so far really just includes recording all my "stories"; the funny, the odd, the bizarre and well...the slimy...and seeing how it goes from there. Hopefully at some point I'll be telling them to someone other than just myself (yay for delusions)!
