First Post

I probably won't have a lot to say in this first entry, but I will say that it's been a nasty Monday. Not because of work, though. That's been pretty smooth today, actually. However, to be dealing with BS from so many other angles...I can do without that. Got into it with Amy (my gf), got chastised by a friend, and now FedEx decided to make my delivery a day late, which is causing complications for me because it's my new computer. I've been preparing since before the weekend to get this thing. I've been moving around TONS of files, sometimes up to 200GB at a time, which takes hours upon hours, so that when I get this thing, I'll be ready to do all the photo and video editing I need to do, and with ease. The machine I'm using now simply will not handle the amount of data coming from my new camera, which is all Full HD video and 18MP stills. It's giving the thing a coronary. LoL

Anyway, the thought keeps crossing my mind that this blog is going to end up going the way of most other stuff I try. Well, writing-type of stuff anyway. I usually just get to a point where I think to myself, "Why am I doing this? What purpose will it serve, and will it even  be worth the effort?" The problem I keep running into is that I don't know what to say. I end up talking about geeky, techy crap. Nothing of any real substance. Of course, I bet this will depend more on who's reading it. With as many millions of blogs online, how can my little pebble in the ocean create noticeable waves? Bottom line: It probably won't.
How's THAT for positive thinking! LoL No, I dunno...I just don't want to put effort into something like this (like I'm doing right now. Oh, the irony!), and turn into one of those people who say "You can find it on my blog." or "for those of you who have read my blog", as if I were expecting to have followers or people who actually make a point to see what I have to say. I'm just a plain guy, with plain ambitions, and with a pretty plain life. Not to say I'm unhappy. That's not the case at all. But at 30 years old, I'm not nearly as far along with living as I thought I would be by now.

Maybe I can turn this into a how-to for photography. That's possible. I will probably do that from time to time, in fact.
Maybe I can turn it into a sort of journal or diary, documenting my day-to-day activities. Oh wait....I live a plain life. Hm....sounds like that could lead to more of a loss of readers than a gain.
Maybe I can express my opinions about current political/religious/scientific events. Eh...there's a sure-fire way of blending in with all the other same-level tripe. I may refer to some scientific ones from time to time, however.

Oh well, who knows? We'll just have to wait and see where this goes.
Hey, that rhymed.

4:29pm now...got about half an hour before I get outta here and go home. Catch all you guys on the flipside.
