My Inaugural Post

What ho chaps and chappesses,

Today marks a momentous occasion in the history of the world, for not only is it the day when one Daniel J. Harris created a "weblog" of his very own, but it is also the day when one Daniel J. Harris resigned to the fact that he was WRONG.

Yes, wrong about these dashed blogs. For you see my dear reader (who should note the lack of plurality; only the finest personal touch...), not long ago a certain fiery-orange headed friend of mine began posting comments of an invidious manner into his own blog, to which I grumpily tished and pished a bit before laying upon him some harsh words about how arrogant he might be to assume that readers around the world would be hanging on to his every word. I could see his head growing larger, sky-high aspirations of an A-level English student cum close friend of P.G. Wodehouse, as he penned his thoughtful words onto the electronic paper imagining he would be the very next best thing on the literary scene since the sliced loaf.

However, as I said, I have come round to the idea of personal blogs. It seems to me that rather than my initial impressions of blogs and bloggers, blogs are an enormously novel way to keep in touch with those friends and family who, through circumstances of employment and education, you tend not to see so much any more, and who you miss greatly.

For how long I shall be able to keep this posting malarkey however, is another story. I imagine it's very much like a diary. I've always wanted to keep a diary, you know. But, as happens to the best of us, those good intentions formed on the 1st of January of each New year to log every day soon turn sour as laziness sets in by, hum well... around January 10th usually, and it just doesn't seem much fun to write anymore. One can only hope that since this log is of an electronic form, and with me spending no less than several hours slumped in a terribly unergonomic position at the keyboard each day, that you will be able to read about my fun-filled adventures for the long weeks and months to come.

In 1965 Intel co-founder Gordon Moore stated that the number of transistors on a processor chip would double every 18 months - and so far he has been proved right.
In 2006 Sloshed Up Gingers Have Rights Too founder Matty Lewis stated that soon, everyone will have a blog. A profound statement, and although I had my doubts, now that the most cycnical of people (ie. me) has a blog I am SURE that he will be proved right too.

Here's to blogging! *raises a glass of Coke and chinks it against Matty's 7th of Pinot Grigio*

Signing off now,

Danneh :)

P.S. One last thing before I go, I really should mention the address of the blog that started it all... well at least that started this one. It is http://wittypseudonym.blogspot.com. And if you don't think the content is up to much, please let me offer to you this justification for re-visiting his page. He talks about duvets. Er.. er... no, that wasn't it... um... oh yes, he does use some rather nice language! Today's "cool" word was kvetch, don't you know :)
