You know, the key to having a good blog is sticking with a topic.

I haven't been exactly clear about what I'm writing about so I thought I pick a subject and stick with it from here on out.

So I'm going to be perfectly clear about what this blog is about. No vagaries of perception, no SAT words, no overly long worded statements that really don't say anything, but seem to have artistic merit simply because you didn't understand it, and no sentences with comma's that overstay their welcome like my mother-in-law...well, actually I don't have a mother-in-law but shut up, I'm trying to make a point with this sentence! Oh shit, I just ended that last sentence without making a point, whoops.

Anyways, this blog will be about&mdash Holy Shit! Look behind you!

Sorry, couldn't resist...did you actually look behind you? I'm not continuing this until you do, because now you will have killed my joke. Go on I'll wait. This text isn't going anywhere. No, seriously, look behind you. There probably isn't anything there but look anyways because it's all building up towards a joke and you're going to ruin it. Who knows, there might actually be someone or something behind you, and this blog could have saved your life, but no, you decided to keep reading like one of the humorless adults we're destined to become because we don't understand the humor of the youth and become that guy. You know which guy. The guy who gets a prank played on him, but doesn't laugh about it ever, even when you retell this story to your friends. That's the guy who will end up shooing children off his lawn when they're actually at the playground across town, but he's become to senile and hateful that no one will ever love you, and you'll be forgotten within a decade.

You don't want to be that, right?

Good, so turn around, and then continue reading.

Actually, I didn't have a joke, I just wanted to see if you'd do it, but of course I'd never know since I can't see you, you dolt. If you did do it, good on you for playing along. If you didn't, thank God, you aren't stupid.

What was this post about again? I totally forgot...I could easily go back and read what I wrote but what's the point, I'm too lazy to change any of it now. Well, I hope I got my point across...whatever that may be.

Even the blog's title has a character limit.

One of the things I personally don't like about social networks is the limit on characters. Sure it's great for saying where you are, or quoting something out of context, but unfortunately there are many thoughts that go off into the distance to never be seen again because I simply didn't have enough letters to work with.

Now, I understand why they do this.

1) They do it to save bandwidth.
2) They do it so assholes like me don't write 13 pages worth of stuff and waste everyone's time.

It's true though, most people post self-important updates on Facebook, which if we really think about, don't do anything to add to society or even our own lives, and I guess the same could be said about blogs. However, at least here there's only one reason why people are even here, and that's to read someone's thoughts on something. Maybe they put a spin on it and show them a aspect of an event that they never thought of before.

The other thing that really pisses me off, is those bloody games on Facebook. If you play those, great, I honestly hope you're having fun with them, but it's really annoying when I'm trying to update my status and then you try to sell me sesame seeds in a game that I will probably never play.

Also, I'm sick and tired of people liking, what seems like, everything. It's like someone has a slightly clever remark and people like it instantly and feel the need to post it up and show everyone that they like it, only to forget that they even liked it within a day. What arbitrary silliness! If you truly like something, great, but to just like everything, well, that just makes you seem undeceive and almost unwilling to commit, so you try a lot of samples and see if anyone of them sticks, and find the other page that you liked sleeping with another person who liked them, and forgets about you already....sorry, I forgot where I was going with that.

My point is, I think I'm annoyed by social networks, but they have now become necessary to communicate with people that I simply can't leave something like Facebook. Joining Twitter almost seems less evil now, but they put a cap on thoughts over 140 characters so that was out. Besides, most people don't care what a person on Twitter thinks, or have nothing relevant to say, which I guess can go for blogs too, but at least people put somewhat more thought into a blog.

Boy, this introduction post went long, and I don't even think I specified what this blog is even going to be about. I guess, I'm just going to throw random thoughts here, and maybe someday after film school, I can always fallback on this and hopefully get paid. Oh and please click on the Ads, provided by Google AdSense because I am a total whore, and you know it's easier to leave the blog by clicking the Ad that going back up to the address bar. I mean, look how far it is.
