Well, here we are, folks, with the first of many, many, many posts that I’m going to create (yes, I’m speaking it by faith) for Refried Ramblings. What is this blog going to be about? Well, pretty much a little bit of everything…I’ll cover some television shows that I like, some movies that I like, some music that I like, a bunch of websites that I like, some factoids and figures, and then sprinkle a bunch of ridiculously opinionated commentary throughout.
Will this be like almost every other obscure blog on the planet? Well…yup. I can’t lie to you. This is more of an exercise in just writing for writing’s sake than it is in actually achieving any real point. I do believe that I want to hit 100 posts just to know what it feels like to do it. Plus, I want to know that I actually stuck with something long enough to see that happen.
I chose a WordPress blog to do this, because I didn’t want to be looked upon as “evil” in the eyes of the purist blogger community by possibly monetizing this blog with Adsense ads and the like. Yes, as George Costanza once said, “Conformity is an obsession with me.”
So now I’m watching “John & Kate Plus 8″ and am constantly amazed at how they even breathe for one second with eight kids. I have one (and one on the way) and it’s unreal how much work goes into it. But, it’s an absolute labor of love, so it’s all good. Speaking of which, this blog is a labor of love too.
