Hi, I’m just some guy on the internet that wants to voice his opinion. Original, I know. And judging by the dates on my postings, I’m obviously a latecomer to the ‘blog’ milieu. But I write mostly for my own amusement, and if you generate any kind of insight or humour out of reading my stuff, great. Read some more. If you think its crap, stop reading. Pretty simple. I’m not trying to make money by running ads. Any ads you may see are there thanks to WordPress. I use their free service to host this blog. Yup, for now I’m that cheap.
So why should anything I write be taken seriously? It shouldn’t. But here’s a tip. Anything you read anywhere (that includes newspapers, things published by a government, or the side of a cereal box where it tells you all about the crap in the box) should not be taken seriously. Everybody has an angle they’re trying to push. So be careful what you read.
But I think reading is becoming a lost art. People rely on 15 second soundbites and that gives them all the information they need to make an educated decision about almost anything. I call BS.
So that’s why I write. On a variety of topics. Whatever I feel like talking about. I try to back up my writing with links to other people’s writing. Sometimes I link to video. But if I believe something to be truer than you may believe it to be, I’ll try to prove why my flavor of truth is right. I write both long and short articles. My moods, and free time vary.
Is that enough for an about page? I dunno, but thought I’d at least tell you a bit about myself without really telling you anything about myself.
Oh, and what is a Screaming Viking? In 1987, it was a great fictional drink. Nowadays, I’m sure it is a real drink. Though I’ve never had one, so can’t comment on the taste.
And what is the significance of Bruised Cucumbers? If you’re a Cheers fan, you’ll get the reference. What does it mean? Absolutely nothing, I don’t think. Perhaps it was an inside joke to the Cheers writing team back in the 80s. But for me, it just serves as a tag line. Everybody needs one of those, don’t they?
Season 6, Episode 1:
Woody: Would you like the cucumber bruised?
Norm: Slightly
Cheers,
