the first post

A first post on any blog is a bit ominous and mostly self-indulgent.  What tone will it set? How will my blog be perceived?  As I sit staring at this empty box, I conclude that if there is nothing interesting to divulge then little should be written.  Of course there are things I want to mention, such as the fact that there was a giant roach basking on the ceiling in the hallway by my room all day.  And I would want to write that every time I walked by him I would turn around and emit a shrill scream, just to see him cringe, his antennae a-twitter.  But why would I want to start a blog with a post about a twittering roach? (what would a roach post on a twitter account?... perhaps this shall be worthy of my Second Post.)   There are more important things to fill a first post with.  Such as, who am I, why I feel it is necessary to add my mundane thoughts to the expanding vastness that is cyberspace, and why should you subscribe to said blog.  But it seems this blog is already off to an unconventional start, so why try to change that?
