Many a wise advertising guru have said that if you’re going to invade someone’s life with a message a person never wanted to hear in the first place, you better make it worth his or her time, lest you will be hated and despised even more for wasting time and space.

The truth of the matter is that is applies to just about everything, at least in terms of media…I think. I can recall several movies I sat through (cough cough, Closer), in which I wanted, neigh demanded my two hours back afterward. It applies to books, albums, art, just about anything that can be construed as portraying a message. Even this blog, as well as the hundreds of thousands of other blogs out there, are held to such scrutiny; which is why I’ve been so apprehensive about writing a blog: who in the hell is going to want to read about what I think on any sort of regular basis besides my mom and my girlfriend? Yet here I am writing my first public blog ever (I wrote a few on MySpace, but my profile is set to private and I think two, maybe three people actually read any of them). I figure at the least it’s a way for me to practice writing, as that is the profession (via advertising) I’m trying to get in to. At best, somehow my blog will become famous and someone will want me to write a book or movie or some crap and I’ll make lots of money and blow it all on fancy electronics and beer. The point is, I’m turning this into my little corner of the Internet and plan on doing my best to not waste your time, loyal reader(s). Feel free to point a laugh.
