In & Out

For my loyal 3-person readership, I apologize. Every couple months or so, I re-enter the blogosphere to pledge my undying loyalty to "Nothing of Interest", write for around 4-5 days then disappear into the not-so-wild, not-so-blue yonder.

So what makes this different?

To be honest... Nothing. I can come back and say I'll try to be more consistent with my posts, and it'll be true. I will try. Kind of. By try I mean I'll click the link on my browser that says "Blog", sit in front of my blank screen for 3 minutes and then decide that no-one wants to hear my thoughts, and they're too complicated/ridiculous to write anyway. Then I'll go on Twitter and send a 140-character message that sums it up completely.

So here I am blogging again. About what, you ask? Nothing!

I'm blogging to tell you that I'm probably going to start blogging again. But no promises.

Now that that's out of the way, I can blog. The next topic? Probably sneakers. Or soccer. The one after that? Maybe sneakers. Or soccer. Or some crazy combination of both. For now, however, I leave you. Hopefully I'll be back soon.

But don't hold your breath.

2010

It's been a long while since last I blogged, so what better way to start the New Year than with a post about... shoes!

Here we have the new Adidas f50 Adizero... 5.8 ounces of pure speed.

Enjoi.

I-Am-No. 1

Having been inspired by good writing from manically brilliant minds such as Patrick Braxton-Andrew (also known as PBA, Pibba, Pibs, Pax-baby (which I just thought up)) and the socially conscious folks at Topics Education Group, I have decided to "bless" the world with my thoughts. Let us be clear from the outset: I will not address any of the issues important to the world, try to affect any change in said world, or follow any set thought pattern at all. This is simply a forum for me to dump the excess thoughts conducting a Ben Hur-esque race in my mind into the open where the world can gape at them and scream in terror. Keeping in mind that this is my first real foray into personal writing in the English language, please be brutally and dishonestly positive about my offerings. My ego is an Oxford oar: it must be stroked often to be of any use.

Now that I've got the introduction out of the way, I can settle into the real reason for beginning this blog. This is my way of venting about the issues I think about often: namely soccer, keeping my focus at work, and random thoughts (which goes hand in hand with keeping my focus at work). I have found that I am approximately 39% more efficient at work if I break up the day with random spats of web-surfing. Therefore, I decided if I'm going to dedicate myself to breaking up the day, I will use these breaks to do something that has the semblance of being productive.

As a final note I'd like to say that as this blog progresses, the language will undeniably begin to steadily deteriorate into simple "newspeak" with no SAT words. Enjoy the intellectual stimulation (what little there is) while it lasts, and please refer to this post often as more are added so as not to be disappointed with the quality of subsequent offerings.
