Kickin' This Mother Off!



So it has come to this...a blog. I mean, shit, a blog. Fuck. I knew it would happen someday, I just assumed that that day would be in the year 2003. But at the ripened age of 26, as the year 2007 begins to kick out the jams, I've decided to become one with the blogosphere, to join the ranks of millions and lay bare my soul (or at least my bullshit opinions) for the the world at large to behold, and I imagine, mock. Enjoy, assholes!

Couple of things:
First, why a blog?
Good question, me. I'm a list maker at heart and this makes for an easy way in which to keep track of all the mundane details and boring shit I personally love to keep track of, without continuing to clutter up the house and bore the Wife.
Also, this forum can make a great...forum, in which people can keep tabs on the Wife and me as we prepare to move to Chicago from mid-Michigan. Let's face it, I'm a bit of a shit and don't always make the best effort to keep in touch. While I plan to change that pattern in the coming year, please think of this blog as a safeguard to all those Brad sycophants out there jonesin' for a fix of sweet, sweet Brad meat (not actual meat...it's a metaphor).
And, this blog allows me to be pompous, pretentious and self-absorbed in a whole new and exciting way. Thanks Internet!

Second, what can I expect from this blog?
That ones a bit tougher. Many great ideas are on the horizon, plus a shitload of mediocre to poor concepts. Expect drinking games, philosophical ruminations, general personal updates, and of course movie reviews. First up will be the first installment of 365 Films /3 Sentences Each, an attempt to watch a movie a day and then write a review of the film no longer than three sentences in length (though I'm only really shooting for an average of a movie a day, 365 movies by December 31, 2007).

2007 looks to be pretty kick ass, and it all starts right here. Sit back, read and enjoy. Without you none of this could be possible (which is bullshit, 'cause I'm the one doing the writing...lazy bastards). I expect big things from this blog this year. Either that or I'll fall off from writing this in about two weeks. Enjoy!
