The Mister Speaks

Honestly, I couldn't tell you why it's taken me so long to start a blog. I mean, my wife has been writing what I consider to be an excellent blog for some time now. Every now and then I would make an appearance in her tales of life and law school. But, really, should I just be a footnote in her blog world? My friends, the answer is no. It is time to reclaim some of my identity and self-respect, to stop letting her speak for me. Thus, I give you this anonymous blog. Why anonymous? Well, to be honest, I don't think she'd like me speaking for myself...

So, why blogging? First off, I'm a rather shy person. People scare me, and it's not because the vast majority tend to do things that I consider so stupid that I fear for my precious oxygen. No, I just simply prefer hiding in the shadows. Besides, being the mysterious stranger that people wonder about after you leave the party is more fun, or, at the very least, more creepy. Secondly, I'm not very fond of confrontation. In part, this goes along with my first point. On the other hand, I've been beaten down by wife, who possesses a stubborn streak that may only be exceeded by the character of Ahab in Moby Dick. Seriously, what's the point of even trying to be confrontational when your sparring partner refuses to back down? How do these two points combine to lead to a blog? Well, quite frankly, I want a forum to rant and rave about all the things that piss me off, without worrying about who I offend. Sure, I'll read comments if you post them. Just expect me to delete them rather quickly if I disagree, so writing indignant posts about how offended you were by an issue I took up isn't likely to result in many changes.

Hmmm....any other reasons I'm writing this thing? Oh yeah, it's currently 3am and this is the 12th night in a row I've been at work. I'm tired, I'm bored, and by golly, I'm important!
