First!

It is a difficult thing, composing the initial post for a new blog. As both a creator and consumer of such content I always feel as if a blog should have a thesis statement, some central point which it claims it is trying to make and which the other posts somehow support. The first post then, is often one which requires great deliberation...

This is not one of those blogs and certainly not such a first post.

Here I have given myself permission to write about whatever comes to mind. It seems I have more ideas in a given space of time than places to record them and delineating them as "this is a gaming idea" or "this story is about religion" or "lets talk about my family now", only seems like it will delay my ability to "get it all out there."

There is another kind of first post though. That which occurs on forums and discussion boards and exists for the express purpose of beginning a discussion or claiming the rights of initial position. We've all seen them. Some troll with no interest in the actual content who leaps onto the board and types "FIRST!" seconds after a page has been posted without even reading the thing.

Well...

With apologies to myself and anyone who may come along to read this blog, this is one of those posts. It has neither content nor meaning, but exists purely to kick the following stream of rants off. So...

"FIRST!"
