wow, a blog. feel the rush.

so my friends at work set up a blog to be used as a glorified message board. (i guess a blog is a little more chic than an ezboard account. not much, but i'll give them the benefit of the doubt.) so jik says to himself, he says, "i would like to post annoying, i mean witty, comments to their posts. i shall do so forthwith and share with them my clever repartee." upon trying to post a comment, where do i find myself but at a registration page. and partway into registration it asks for a name for my blog. i didn't want my own blog. i leave the entry blank. it insists that i must enter a name to continue. but i don't want a blog. i just want to participate in other blogs. back and forth we go. my superior powers of persuasion fail miserably. a blinking cursor taunts me continually for the name of my blog. i give in. i create a blog. so here we are. the wonders of technology and modern society have forced me into the creation of an entity i did not want. but now it's too late. the blog is mine. forever will i be strapped with the responsibility that is this blog. accountability for its proper upbringing. mine. sleepless nights. mine. restricted personal freedoms. mine. thanks to the system. blog, meet world. world, meet blog. or maybe not. maybe the world should tremble in fear. for this is my blog. mine to shape and mold into whatever monstrosity i see fit. and mine to finally unleash upon the unsuspecting world, bringing pain and suffering and split infinitives to all as punishment for its forced creation. or more likely, it will simply remain dormant. unused. ignored. this will likely be the solitary entry in this blog. at least i can take small pleasure from the fact that it will forever consume a tiny bit of blogger server space. that'll teach 'em. i do feel a little sad for the blog however. i mean, i did give it a name that will forever brand it as unwanted. imagine if your parents named you accident, whoops, or godwhydidigetsodrunkthatnight. so, to make things better, i will give the blog a nickname. he shall be called Quentin, meaning fifth child. the reasoning behind that should be self-evident. ok. i'm done.

so long, Quentin, and thanks for all the fish.
