Why?

Why, you might ask, did you decide to develop a blog and place it out into the interspace for every one (with a computer–sorry kids in Africa) to see?

Given that there is currently a din of text voices screaming at the top of their keyboards for attention and relevance in an increasingly over simulated and information saturated world, it is a valid question. IF the answer was that I wanted to get noticed. However, that is not my desire. My desire is to stave off the evil demons of idleness brought on by my current labor related stagnation. Or as I like to say, "I'm unemployed, bitch," and I need to do something besides stare at craigslist and wait for a job posting directed exactly at me. I think the ad would have to look like this for me to read it:

6-June-08: ATTENTION [my name here], SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER XXX-XX-XXXX, GET PAID TO DRINK BEER AND TWIDDLE YOURSELF!!!!!!1!!!

Where the X's would be replaced by real numbers, numbers that correspond to the actual numbers in my social security number, which is made up of numerical based numbers with no numerators. Even if the ad came through I don't think I'd apply because most people would then assume I'm twiddling myself constantly. While fun, society still has a problem with making twiddling public.

So back to the lecture at hand, with all this cacophony why throw a breeze into the wind? Shouldn't I be worried about making waves or having this hurt my employment? Bah, to that I respond, "What's another voice in a chorus of millions?" I'll write cause that's what I want to do, if some small child happens upon it and complains to their parents, so be it. I got 40 hours of free time here and I need to fill it so here you go masses, another body. Plus, I did a Google search with my e-mail address and this blog didn't appear, take that employers!

Oh yeah, if I were to get noticed I don't think I'd complain too much. I can look back on this last day of employment (you can't tell why it's ending?) and chuckle while I'm knuckle deep in some starlet...or my current beautiful girlfriend whom I would never leave.
