Quick!! It's almost too late!

I accidentally realized that I have a Blog! Fortunately for me, I'm the only one that knows. I was checking in on a favorite blogger of mine Flip, over at the Fire Kathy Sabine blog . I noticed he hadn't posted a blog in over 5 months and was pretty upset. It got me thinking about blogs in general; they are like low class, no invite required social networks. Kind of the PBS of the internet, not that PBS is low class (if it even has a catagory), but more in the line of there is information and even some entertaining stuff, its just that not many people care to watch it.

Blogs are more for the people out there that want to write more than 2 sentences on their Facebook status, or who don't feel they get enough exposure writing their comments at the bottom of the Yahoo, ESPN, or local news station's web site. I know that's kind of what drove me to do this- that and the idea that MAYBE my cynical spin and witty observations might be enjoyed by more people than those forced to sit near me at work (and the people I hold hostage, I mean my family- at home). If you read more than 4 or 5 "news" stories on almost any new source site, like Yahoo, CNN, even local news, you can see that almost every reporter covering the average, mundane stories are little more than mediocre bloggers. They parrot out information with little to no details. I've even seen news reports stating "possible" facts, such as "Large accident on I-25, up to 10 people injured". It's one thing to report the news, it's entirely another to rush to get something in print with NO information. I can listen to a police scanner and get better information!

But, I digress, my purpose in writing this was simply to not "fade away". To show that I might just still have something vital to say; well not NOW, but maybe later. I think everyone is like that in some way. They want to leave a lasting mark, even if it's in the form of lame, personal commentary recorded on the internet.

Random things to think about;

I haven't posted anything in a while- not that all 2 of you reading really care:


When someone says, "You scared me half to death!" -do it one more time for good measure.

Why do we ask "Are you O.K.?" when someone falls or gets hurt?

If it's illegal to drink and drive, why do they ask for your driver's license when you buy liquor?

If they can make transition lenses, why can't they make transition contact lenses?

If antique cars are so valuable, why doesn't your car start INCREASING in value after you buy it?

Why does the post office complain that no one uses the mail anymore and then raise the cost of stamps?

If IRS sends people letters telling them to be patient for their tax refunds, can those of us that owe taxes do the same?

Can a Telemarketer call in sick?

Why do Honey Bees die after they sting you? If it's a defense mechanism, it kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Why do companies file bankruptcy against their creditors but still expect you to pay them?
