And So It Begins...

According to Science, there is literally nothing more pointless in this Universe than social networking. In fact, our learned founding father's noted this in the Constitution:

Social...site...s...destroy...the...core...of...our...nation.

Powerful stuff, no? Of course, these specific words and their placement happen to be throughout the document, but the fact of the matter is that those words ARE there, and the framers did in fact choose to use them in a fashion that allows me to randomly select them.


So, faithful readers of this blog from thebeginning, you must be asking yourself why I, a man of great taste and adequate personal hygiene, would choose to ignore both Science and several deceased men whom I've never met and chose to embrace social networking.

The answer to this question is convoluted and irrational, but also tinged with a delicate smoky flavor:

• People, who may or may not be exclusively limited to my mother, are constantly asking me for updates on my life. Can you blame them? I mean, I am constantly doing _things_. On any given day I may or may not wake up. I may or may not go to work. I may or may not watch something on television. Now, I may or may not write a blog post. The list of tedious, mind-numbing things I may or may not do is endless. Who _wuldn't_ want to read a detail description of some of these things I may or may not chose to share.

• The kids seem to like the facebook and twitter. The average age of my colleagues in games seems to be right in that sweet spot where they actually understand social networking and its apparent vital nature to modern society. As someone who will soon be celebrating my 29th birthday for the xth consecutive year, I'm definitely feeling the peer pressure to join this "revolution." I am, shall we say, concerned, given that the last revolution I took part in was centered around Crystal Sodas (and we all know that one set us back about 10 years). Despite these huge risks, none can argue that peer pressure is an important aspect of my life, so...full steam ahead.

"But", you collectively say, "what will you be blogging in regards to, dear sir?" Well, my intrepid reader, that is an excellent question. At the moment, I'm treating this as a social experiment just to discover what one is supposed to blog about...at the moment I have literally no idea.

My work, which is the stuff anyone in their right mind would actually be interested in, is largely covered under NDA. Then it hit me...OCTOBER! That's right, ladies and gentleman, I shall be blogging my October. Not my "day to day", of course, but literally things of and related to my life as they pertain to the general creamy goodness that is the month of October. To quote the author of this blog in real time, "If only everyone could blog about their October-related experiences during the month of October, then there would be a lot of blogs about people's October-related experiences."
