This here blog is my New Year’s Resolution. It’s the only one. In fact, I can’t remember ever having made a New Year’s resolution before. Oh sure, I make goals that I’d like to shoot for, but nothing really set in stone. I would say I like to be fluid, but really it’s just a problem with commitment. So here’s my one, set in stone resolution… I will maintain a blog.
I’ve always been the person who comes up with ideas and tells other people what to write. Because of this, I never felt like I had the time or need to write one of my own. However, I now find that I’d like a creative outlet or at least the opportunity to display my super power which is apparently performing mind numbingly useless Google searches on obscure facts and events.
Oh and I’d also like to use this blog to give some praise to the people and ideas that make this world a better, funner (yes I know it’s not a word) place.
So in the spirit of my new year as a blogger here’s a little SEO pandering…
