It's 1146. I should most definitely be asleep, or doing something productive. Yet here we are. Aside from actually creating a blog, I feel the need to begin so that the reader does not feel cheated when they search my thread only to see cobwebs and hear crickets.
The origin of this thread is an interesting story (in my opinion). I used to fill my study time writing only the most humorous of my thoughts in the form of the F*cebook note (name censored for copyright reasons). Upon reading my latest work, my mother called to congratulate me. She felt I could have enjoyed a long, successful career as a journalist. Telling this story to a close friend, the idea of a blog began to surface.
Yes, that pretty much brings us to now. People like to say, "and the rest is history" but in this case there really IS no "rest". That's it.
A title was a little bit trickier to decide upon. I was looking for something that grabbed your attention span by the testicles, but my clever Offspring lyric "and the voices told me to blow you away" was dangerously close to the only other blog I have read in my life. And then I thought to myself, "self, what would both brighten the reader's day and connect with their thoughts at this exact second?" I decided upon a bit of a catch phrase. A tag line, if you will...
"You are entering the mind of P Charles Boutin. What's the matter? Has your day already been shot to hell?"
peace
ps, i would like to thank steph, and my loving mother, for inspiring this blog. outside motivation is sorely underrated.
