Welcome and I'm sorry

First off, welcome.
Second, I'm sorry.

I don't like blogs in general which is why I say I am sorry for adding to the hellacious mess that has become "blogging." I think some people's opinions are useless, I think the writing style and the content on blogs is poor in general, and I think that when established journalism starts quoting from joe blogger, that society should collapse in on itself and we should all consider moving to Iceland (yes, the country is named after ice.) Besides, I think your experiences are nice for you, but I don't really care about what guy accidently peed on the floor when you were going to the bathroom at McDonnalds and how you realized that peeing on the floor is bad, it doesn't affect my life in any way unless it was Jesus taking that piss. In which case, I would have slipped him my business card with a small request for a La-Z-Boy recliner and a downtown location in Heaven. I would not have written a blog about my experience.

I created this blog because I like writing, I like to write "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" style jokes, I need practice, and these jokes should be enjoyed, or mocked, by others. How else can I become better? I think of this place like the Wikipedia for me. A peer-edited/critiqued place for me to write. Thanks for reading by the way.

Lastly, I think that voter apathy is a huge threat to our democracy, our society, our legitimacy around the world, and of course, wastes the millions of unused touch-screen computers that could be running some awesome virtual version of that frog smashing game.

Thanks -J
