Initial Post

I decided to start a blog for multiple reasons.  First, I've wanted to do this for a very long time, but never got around to it.  Second, I know other people who have been doing the same thing lately, and I love nothing more than sucking the creativity out of other people for my own benefit.  I may not mention this to anyone for a while, but it's not like it's hidden, so who knows.  Since I tend to oscillate between sharing private pieces of my life with random strangers and telling out-and-out lies in real life on a regular basis, this will probably be a decent mix of both, or neither.  Still, I'm going to attempt to stay away from depressed-yet-intelligent rambling about how horrible the universe is, and hopefully every couple of months I'll go back and read some posts and decide to tone down the pretension a little bit.  

In short:  DISREGARD THAT, I WRITE BLOGS.
