Mic Check

Testing... one two three... check check... ahem:

Hello there!

Yes, you. The one sitting in front of a computer.

I would like to be the first to officially welcome you to my blog. Actually, I say "I" because there is no "we" here, and since there's only me here, you can switch that "first" welcome to "only" welcome. 

Yeah, I know, this isn't exactly rolling out the red carpet and a ticker-tape parade. But times are tough and we've had some employee cutbacks. We're in a recession, you know. 

For those of you annoyed at the shameless recession plug, I apologize. For those of you impressed at how fast I did it... what can I say, I have a gift. However, there is a reason for it, and that reason is...


...going to be revealed in our next episode. (boo... hiss.)


I know what you're thinking. That was a dick move, right? Well not as much as this: Pop Quiz!

1. Why would someone keep the topic of his own blog a secret from his beloved readers? 
 
a) The topic lacks substance, and the writer is trying to increase dramatic potential.
b) The topic is as face-meltingly awesome as a lost ark, and the writer is attempting to ease readers into the experience.
c) The writer has no idea what he is doing, and is attempting a J.J. Abrams right out of the gate. 
d) The cotton gin.

I'll let you guys ponder that one for a while, but please, those of you who chose (d), show yourselves the door. 

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Why would you even be worried about the topic of my blog when you don't even know who my- er, I, is? Am. Who I am. 

I realize I use the term "you" loosely. While it can either be singular or plural, I'm pretty with this blog it will lean toward singular. Or none. "Nonegular", if you will. 

You see, since I'm neither a) an emotional teenager looking to cut his e-wrists and bleed angst all over the internet or b) someone with actual experiences or advice to share, I will not be advertising this blog all over my Myspace page. 

Because I don't have one. But if I did, I wouldn't... and look, I've done it again. Totally off topic. Okay, real quick: 

Me = Canadian. 20's. Student. Actor. Writer. Awesome. 

So that's me, there's you, we're all happy and everything is going according to plan. Are you with me? Of course you are.  

Until next time, I'll be sitting here marveling that "face-meltingly" didn't come up on spell check... 

...the moose has spoken.
