Elegance is key to a successful blog post. Sadly, any elegance I could once convey with words has left me. I would love to have a long intro post so beautifully composed that you would weep tears of amazement, but that is not going to happen. Before I get any farther into this endeavor, I would like to paint you a very specific picture of who I am.
I am a middle aged Canadian billionaire who sits in his decadently furnished loft (note that my loft smells of rich mahogany) updating his blog while smoking out of an oak pipe. I wear lots of plaid. All my jackets have elbow pads.
Is any of that true? No. Will it enhance your perception of my blog? Probably.
I am not going to constrict myself on this blog. I am not going to say 'I will post this'. I will post everything. I will ignore the rules of writing at times, as long as it fits my needs.
'Why not use your Tumblr?' you ask. Well, my Tumblr is thousands of pages long, and if I ever want to go back and read what I have written it would be very difficult. Yes, I could use a tag, but I relish in the thought of having a blog with just organized writings. It makes me happy. So, prepare for rants and stories and essays and research papers. Prepare for something that won't last. Prepare for a chance to get my shit together.
