Another Sad Realization

I started this blog for several reasons, one: to quiet co-workers that were nagging me to create one, two: to give the world (or at least a select few who actually read this from time to time) a purview of my mind and my horrific thought patterns, and three: to help with my writing skills because I had the delusion of actually writing something that was worthy of being published.

While creating this blog alleviated the nagging and provided an outlet for the first two reasons, the third and most important of my reasons for posting my thoughts seems to remain unfulfilled and sadder still, appears to be nothing more than a pipe dream. Instead of cutting my losses with this blog alone, I decided to delve deeper into the abyss of mindless writings on the World Wide Web and I created a second blog that I strictly devoted to sports. I thought I could do a better job of reporting on sports I never see than those who sit amongst the cheese heads on the frozen tundra of Lambeau field or those who file into cramped press boxes among the birds to witness the drug enhanced sport of baseball. To be honest, that thought never crossed my mind let alone influenced my decision to start a sports blog; I just wanted a place to comment on sports related topics without boring my non-sport loving devotees.

Unfortunately, both blogs seem to be nothing more than a vice to waste time when I am bored at work. My writing has not improved at all and it seems I continue to use the same limited vocabulary and mind numbing phrases that I did before subjecting the masses (okay fine, the six-pack of friends and co-workers) to my idiocy. Despite my disappointing realization, I will continue to help you waste your time by continuing to post my dumbest and craziest experiences and thoughts. That is, once something exciting happens in my life. I leave you with this thought from Aerosmith’s Get a Grip song:

Same old same old every day
if things don't change you're just gonna rot
Cause if you do what you've always done
you'll always get what you always got
Uh could that be nothin'
