So I’m a blogger

It's about time, too, since I set this account up two months ago after enjoying Paul Shirley's fun NBA.com blog and deciding to jump in. I've never kept a journal or anything so my first goal will be to write in my own voice and not one resembling Shirley's (or Bill Simmons's, Ken Tremendous's or Jason Josephes's) (S apostrophe S is correct in all instances). In general these things are about reaction instead of debate, preferably well written though mostly unimportant, and if you can't speak for yourself then why bother? We'll see how it goes.

"Biff, Bang, Pow" is the title of a Creation B-side from 1967 as well as a repeated lyric from a Make-Up B-side ("Pow! to the People") from 1998, so there you go, the perfect marriage. (I guess it's also the name of an eighties English band but that doesn't concern me.) As a result (and as a recovering music snob) I'll try to make some song or album recommendation from time to time, in keeping with a "theme." And who knows what else? Sports? Television? International debt? Don't be so gullible, McFly.

I do like my plain-Jane design—clean lines and squared corners forever! The only thing more powerful than my words will be a zealous approach to minimalism and proper grammar, qualities at which people often stare blankly or roll their eyes but that I find to be intellectually stimulating. Sorry ladies, I have a girlfriend.

Thank you for reading post number one.
