Rule #1: Blogs are Stupid

Making a Blog is one of the worst things a person can do. I realize this, and so I am going to lay down some ground rules:

1. I promise that this Blog will contain nothing about my "Everyday" goings-ons.
2. The word 'potato' will never occur more than twice per Blog entry.
3. Under no circumstances will I universally adhere to any of these three rules.

Thank you for your attention.
