Blog posts…

Evidently, I have a lot of “lead ins” or qualifiers (?) to most things I say. 

“The thing is…”

“Anyway…”

“I also wanted to say….”

“In any case…”

“Evidently…”

Christ, I’m annoying. I really should just get to the point. Here goes…I guess that’s another one! Jesus!  My wife suggested I start a blog just because I need an outlet? Because I always seem to be going on about something? To get me out of her hair? All of the above. 

I’ve usually maintained that no one wants to hear what I have to say. Mine is just one opinion among the millions out there. Then again, the same could be said for literally a billion other people who already have blogs about pretty much anything and everything voicing their opinions and I don’t give a crap what they’re saying so turnabout is…. fair play? 

I must say “The thing is…” fairly regularly, plus I am a pretty big fan of The Thing from the Fantastic Four, so combine those two shining elements and you have the name of this new, fresh, steaming blog. I suppose “New, Fresh, Steaming, Blog” would work too but I already have a title! So, I’m throwing together a separate website from my others and I’ll occasionally just add to it when I can. 

Side note: (there’ll be a lot of this too) I do have a Thing collection, which is mostly action figures but includes a couple pages of original artwork as well. The collection numbers almost 150 pieces now. Yes, I’m sure you’re very very impressed probably.

The blog entries will be fairly straightforward, not a lot of bells and whistles, just me observing, ranting about or relaying stuff in general. I’ll post up a link to FB and Twitter whenever I blog but if I forget, you can always check in once a week or so and see if I’ve started a new government, lost a limb or done something of note. In the end, it’ll usually have a humorous component regardless of however serious the topic is because that seems to be how I roll. 

Also, the majority of these topics will probably be written while I lay awake at 4am worrying or thinking or thinking about worrying. So, until next time….the thing IS.
