Not blogging. Oh, no. This is my first blog. I'm probably the 45,634,549,439th person to start a blog (my numbers may be off a bit, but I assure you, the process of randomly typing those numbers came from a very scientific method).
And I'm not talking about writing. I do a WHOLE lot of writing in my line of work. Lemme show you an example:
We've submitted the Default Judgment Package to the court and expect the Judgment to be entered shortly. Please advance your file thirty days for our further report.(Riveting, yes? I know. I'll just sit back and wait for my Pulitzer. I won't bother with the 'thank you' list. You guys know who you are.)
No, I'm talking about creative writing. The kind that either keeps you staring at a blank screen for about 30 minutes before you pound the letter 'I' on the keyboard, or else makes you explode in a whirlwind typing frenzy that lasts about 30 minutes, until your fingers hurt and you pass out from all that creative diarrhea.
In fact, I think its been about 15 years since I've really sat down and wrote something, other than a greeting card, that didn't involve some form of obligation.
So, here I am. Braving cyberspace like 45,634,549,438 people before me. Posting my thoughts in a blog.
Why, you may ask yourself, am I doing this? Some form of creative outlet? Got something on my mind that I want to share with the cyber-community? Wanting to share some fabulous recipes that I've found? Naa...none of that.
I'm in it for the money. Uh-huh.
Does that make me a tool? Yes. But I'll be a rich tool.
Nevermind the fact that 45,634,549,437 other people out there have started blogs, undoubtedly with the same idea in mind. But that's neither here nor there. I've got a plan.
(checks notes)
Ok...it appears that the plan has already been taken and might even be illegal.
Oh well. Might as well keep the blog and be like the other 45,634,549,438 people. Maybe Tom Cruise will play me in the movie.
