All blogs must have a first post, and so, by default, this is mine.
I'm sure that as time goes by, my blog will decide what it wants to be when it grows up, so I'm not even going to formulate or broadcast any "mission" or purpose for this endeavor. I only hope that it might turn out to be of interest to a few people besides me. Hell, I hope it's of interest to ME!
In fact, convincing myself that it serves any other purpose than as a complete vanity may take some doing. I suppose that time will only arrive when another person is somehow helped by something they encounter here, if that's not too high-minded. For now it will have to serve mainly as an outlet for me to say things that I think about, or worry about, or wonder about, that would otherwise just rattle around in my head. Better they should rattle around here, I figure.
There may well be the occasional contradiction, as above when I decided not to get into a "mission", and then set about to do just that. In any case, this was really just to see if I could get the darned thing to post at all. I'm a blog virgin about to be deflowered by pressing the "publish" button. Hold on tight.
Not bad, as far as first posts go. Looks like you've gotten the basics figured out.
Posted by: alw9 at March 6, 2003 10:09 PM I enjoy this triblogging. By responding am I entering into an electric malestrom, a virtual world of cyberkinetic thought. Is this like the movie, The Ring, where as if you don't post at least every seven days you die.
This trib. needs some vibs from the music world, like, if Eminem fell over on stage and the audience was all over forty yrs. old, would it make a sound. How about if Michell Branch was the drummer for Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, and Moby was John Lennon's walrus. One suggestion, have Zen Master Andy of Death Row records, put a spell checking tool on this post vehicle so we can fly and free form with thought, then hit a button and make it all seem logical.
