...of ‘My Joke Called Life.’
And so begins another journey into infinite boredom.
Join me in the passenger’s seat as I lead you through the idiosyncrasies I call my entertaining life and the minor distractions along the way.
I’ll begin this trip providing the same empty promises I have offered every time: I will update more often, it will be entertaining and enlightening as I share my thoughtless rambles and state-of-the-world news briefs, and I will seek to provide the customer with an experience that exceeds their expectations.
Ok, the last is a some gentle mind washing c/o the finest retail establishment (here-to and forever after, simply known as The Man) which I am sure will play a role in many of my ramblings. Due to the chance outcome of outright naming The Man (see Michael Hanscom’s 15 Minutes of fame .)
I will make a very conscious effort to avoid all libelous and third party identifiers which could ultimately lead to my early resignation.
Back to the matter at hand, and the sole reason behind this insidious self promotion; me.
What have I been up to, where have I been and what’s hip and happening in my life ? (love my mediocre journalistic style ?)
Well, I am glad that you are asking.
Previously on ‘My Joke Called Life:’
Since December 2003: Graduated with a B.A. in Communication Studies; working retail full-time for the Man, managing a small store outside the big city; living back at home with the ‘rents saving whatever cash I can gather together and other than that looking for that enlightening and fulling career which will carry away my heart. (insert here - desperate plea for the heavens to open and drop and events planner position into my awaiting lap)
Enjoying spending my spare time with friends that are close; sadly missing the friends that I hold dear who are so far away.
Now as the scene begins we see the date 12/17/2004 and some things need addressed.
My absence has been long but not unexplainable. I have for a time been working on a new blog design and it is time to give credit where credit is due. A lot of factors have contributed to the new incarnation of ‘My Joke’. The color scheme, the overall layout and even the content were all very carefully conceptualized and implemented. I have battled with myself about whether to stick to purely newsworthy and political topics or to use this forum as an expression of my favorite pastime - self.
The end result is a mixture of both, as I am sure will delight all audiences (An-e it’s here at last, thank gosh almighty it’s here at last.)
The design is a collaborative effort of a lot of bloggers with whom I have grown very familiar but mostly the style is reminiscent of a blog I have been following faithfully for sometime: Eclecticism.
In the most innocent and sincere defense I will only say ‘imitation is the highest form of flattery’ I just hope my predecessors feel the same way.
As an end to what I consider my official greeting, I would like to extend an invite to all who happen to hop aboard this journey into infinite boredom: feel free to share any comments, feedback, criticisms. Your input is valuable.
Snoop around and find something interesting, a small distraction if you may, by way of the blogworthy and worth wandering links provided for your entertainment. Follow
what I’m reading or join me in experiencing great music, but most of all enjoy the ride while it lasts, God knows it’s a short one.
Cause I’m a train wreck, waiting to happen. Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks - Sarah McLachlan
