I join the virtual world of blogging with grand aspirations - dreams of screaming fans, undies in the air; the smell of adulation; slaughter of the English language - as the world bows to my unique insight
I bet thats what goes through every bloggers mind when they first start off on their blogs. A shot at fame that fizzles down very quickly as they realize that no one really searches for keywords like "dull'", "everyday" and "boring" .( if you do then check this out- boring boring)
With a little inspiration from Aditya, who actually has an interesting blog, I finally am here to try my fingers at a little word juggling and ego-massaging. What did it take to make my lazy arse get down to this ? Well thats what this is about.
Steps in order
1. First I had to find the right place to blog. Being a google fan this was easy - NOTHING can be more appropriate than blogger.com, can it?
2. Fill in registration information with all the imaginary activities I would have indulged in, if I had the skills, time or the money. I debated whether yatch racing as a hobby maybe stretching the truth a little too far, as I have not been on a boat for several years- but then I did see an ocean last year.
3. Select an appropriately cryptic and cool sounding title for my blog. I settled on "A side of brains please". It fits in with the new culture of being sarcastic enough to peel the enamel off one's teeth.
4. Took a day off from work. Pesky co-workers have this habit of disturbing me with work, which if not done wouldn't affect the orbit of earth one bit.
5. Bought a new computer desk, so that I am extremely comfortable for the 5 minutes that it takes to spew the junk off from my mind and into the extremely public internet.
6. a little gaseous inspiration (wink wink) to activate that part of my brain that thinks that my reflection upon the shape of smoke rings will solve the middle east crisis.
for more, watch this space ( or here is a site where you can watch paint dry )
cheers
