Woe is me...

...the humanities-minded person trying to fend for himself in setting up a goddamn blog. If only I'd spent more time on learning HTML and less time on BS and T&A, I might have a much cooler looking blog right now. Alas, I shall make due with none of the bells and whistles, nifty pictures, collages, or esoteric technological rigmarole that might grace the site of a blogger with a name like LinuxDude or HackFu. But LD never would have come up with a word like "rigmarole. " And that's where I've got him.

My pen is my only weapon, not an href or the always sharp <> dealies. I have no ability to wield those in any meaningful way. I wage war with multisyllabic incantations and pedantic declarations that'll make you wonder at my sanity, or lack thereof.

As I sit here, creatively bankrupt and firing on three mental cylinders, I realize that today was probably not the best day to bring my blog into this world. And for that very reason, it is the perfect day! Not really, but I thought that might add some extra ambiguity-laced suspense. I was wrong.
