Well shit, might as well get this started...

I used to write a blog. About ten thousand years ago, I started a little, general purpose blog just to write stuff in. I wrote a couple movie/book reviews, some stuff about web comics, some stuff about advertising and current events. Not a huge body of work, by any stretch of the imagination, just a few entries. Then I ran out of ideas of shit to write. So I just drank.

I don't want it to come off as though I regret my alcoholism, quite the contrary, I rather enjoy being a high-functioning drunk. It makes the weekends something to look forward to, I'm much funnier when I'm loaded, and, so long as I stay away from wine, I'm a really nice guy when I get to be tits deep in beer. But it took the place of my writing for the most part, and I always felt I should go back to it, if only to provide examples of why I stopped writing in the first place.

Most of you are going to be visiting from a forum I frequent, where people smoke a lot and bullshit even more. I warn the denizens of that noble site now: You are likely to get very offended at some of the stuff I put up here. It might very likely make you not like me too much. I'm an atheist libertarian with only a modicum of human compassion. Most nights I can't stand to be in the same room with myself. I drink and cuss and make broad sweeping generalizations about very sensitive topics. I make rude and inappropriate jokes that are in extremely poor taste. I am a purveyor of prejudice, a cultivator of controversy and an alliterative asshole. But, I am what I am. I make no apologies and ask no forgiveness. If I wind up pissing you off, that's how it is. I hope we can still be friends.

I write how I feel at a particular time. Sometimes I change my mind or contradict myself altogether. Sometimes, this will occur several times in the same article. I hope to write about a bunch of different things, guns, beer, tobacco, maybe some politics, religion, beer, porn, and human nature as I see it through my rather warped world-view. I hope to update regularly, perhaps monthly, at least, until I become disillusioned with the whole thing once again and sink into a beer-soaked apathy and swear off writing again.

At the very least, I hope you keep an open mind. Maybe if I get all of this out of my system here, I may not be such a prick at some point. Thank you for reading.
