Blogging sure is tough

Whew! Who knew how hard it could be to come up with stuff to write about on a daily basis? Before launching the blog it seemed like I had 14 ideas a minute, half of which I felt would be interesting, informative, educational, or humorous to the general public. But hot damn, as soon as it came time to walk-the-walk, guess who's balls shrivelled up to wood pellets?

But the last few days haven't been my fault, actually. I was out of town, visiting the in-laws, feasting on fine Japanese beef. I have the password for this site saved locally but forgot which of my passes I was using for it and couldn't get in. I have a small number of passwords that I tend to use (and variations thereof) but couldn't figure out what it was. Typical case of picking something special so I'd remember it but end up forgetting it, like when you hide your last hits of acid some place exotic so nobody will find it, and then discover that you too are a nobody.

But I'm back, fatter than ever, and ready to throw caution to the wind. I realized that I'm not very funny, at least not when I try to be, so I'm not going to try that. It doesn't look like any of my Idawhore friends are willing or able to post here, so it's up to me to make something of this.

I figure that I'll make do with nuggets of insight gleaned from my stimulating life of procrastinating my PhD dissertation by reading the same internet web sites over and over and over. Since I read the same stuff that you do, probably, you'll be well informed on the news I'm spinning for you and should be able to easily find something to comment on.

I won't try to second guess myself about if what I'm writing is worth your time to read. Since it takes me at least 11 times as long to come up with stuff and probably 6 times as long to actually type it as it does for you to read it, I figure that the few minutes a day I put in only end up asking a few seconds of your time, so maybe someone will read it.

So prepare yourself. We'll be talking about Discordianism, the secret to the universe, and my life (that's a single topic you know, not a list) from here on out, as well as stuff the probably doesn't matter much to you, but such is the way it is at GusAlmighty.com!
