Yet Another Internet Blog... Lovely.

I now have a blog.  So do 125 million other people according to my hastily researched data, compliments of google search (tm).  This gives me great hope that my blog will not only be seen by my mom and 3 friends, but also 2 or 3 random people who type "vestigial" into google search (tm).  I'd like to thank google search (tm) in advance for this collateral traffic.

I used to "blog" on myspace back in the day before myspace became atrocious.  But then myspace became atrocious.  At that point I didn't "blog" anymore.  I think I had around 150 posts on there.  87% of them were crap if I remember correctly.  43% were written and posted hastily whilst I was drunk.

Shortly afterwards, I decided to start doing youtube videos for the material I would come up with.  But as it turns out, producing a finished video, after dealing with the camera, lighting, editing, compression, uploading, etcetera, is a lot more work than just the writing part alone.  The payoff always tended to be horribly illiterate 15-year-olds trolling my videos due to the fact that they weren't capable of interpreting sarcasm and satire.  Way to help foster an intellectual environment youtube.  Though I'm sure the excellect education system plays a part in that somewhere.

I will still make videos from time to time, but I'll stick to stuff that would be better expressed in a filmed medium rather than in written format.  Maybe I'll even post something here and then condense the general idea down into a video format.  Who knows...  Maybe I'll abandon both this blog and the videos and decide to be an organic Ramen farmer in Florida.  The sky is the limit.  I took and failed calculus a few times back in college and still have no idea exactly what the hell a limit is or does.  I should have just written "sky" as the answer for all the limit questions.  I'm sure that would have resulted in my passing that class eventually.
