me too

I feel now is the best time to start my blog; when I have nothing to say. So many times I have tried to persuade myselft to start one with delusions of grandeur and my mind races as to what I will post and the masses that will be attracted. They will identify with my thoughts, rock with my experiences, laugh at my humor.

There is something funny that happened as I was starting my blog, its harder than they make it out to be. I was actually mildly discouraged when I could not come up with an original title for my blog. What is that supposed to mean. Are all of my secret sayings and meaningful phrases shared by someone else in this world. So of course my set up was delayed because obviously I had to navigate to every blog that was named after the word or phrase that I had just unsuccessfully entered.

So here I am, foreman eighty six. If you know me chances are you have no idea what it means but know exactly what it is. I'll let the rest of you in on a little secret, it is the email address I have been using since I moved off of the aol kick and into the free email world of yahoo. I chose yahoo over hotmail at the time and have not waivered since. I don't know why I brought that up, I don't think I've ever thought about it but here you are, I warned you I had nothing to say.

I think I've kept this email address not only out of convenience but as somewhat of a statement of nonconformity. You see, when most people graduated high school, or maybe more around the middle of their college career, when they stared applying for serious summer jobs and internships, everyone signed up for new email addresses that were firstname.lastname or flastname, or something else that sounded dull and professional. I kept the same the whole time. Of course my business emails have changed and I have used those, but this one is for eternity. Even with the advent of the trendy, for members only gmail, I have stayed true to my yahoo roots and they have been good to me. They charge me next to nothing for going on 5 years, they have built up my storage limits by seemingly one thousand times what it originally was, they changed their interface to match the user friendly microsoft outlook interface, and they keep most of the spam out. I don't think I've ever thought about my email as much as I just did but now that I have, i am quite grateful for what yahoo has given me. now i sound like a commercial, not to mention a rambling idiot. I am stopping this first post and starting a new one about 5 dollars.
