Blogs are the free hot dogs at the car dealership of the internet

Why did I start this blog? Did I need to move on to a new, different, and better designed blog? Was this a subconscious effort on my part to move onto that next golden faze of my life? Nay, just can not help myself sometimes when it comes to change. I have a blog over at MySpace (link to be provided somewhere on here if I figure out how to do it)
I have had so many different blogs, journals, or of the sort online since I first entered the net and spent 17 hours straight just looking up Doctor Who stuff. All of those have probably died out now or been deleted by me or others. I sometimes wonder what all I have on the net with my name on it? Does any of my fan fiction still exist out there saved on a computer somewhere? How about poems I posted on sites but never copied for myself? Are any of the many sites I started and stopped and started and forgot about still flashing away to be randomly found by people searching for porn? Who knows, I think I would be scared shitless if I ran across some of that stuff by accident, other people would just see how Goth in mood and bad in writing I was at those stages in my life. Though some of those stages are not that long ago to be honest.
I actually discovered this home of a certain sort of blogs by finding the site of a writer I read whenever he comes out with something new, that writer being Paul Cornell. Can’t wait to read his Wisdom mini series from Marvel Comics…though I probably will wait until the trade comes out but I found his blog and followed links and links to links and links to links of very strangely connected links and found myself signing up to create a new blog without really thinking about it. Maybe it’s the word FREE that they throw at you.
Or maybe I was just tired of MySpace. Liked it, think its cool even though corporate owned but little is not these days. I think I was a wee bit over it in a I keep forgetting it existed sort of manner. Though the first post here was posted there first. Hey, I had to put something here when I set the thing up. I did not know I would be this bored out of my mind at the pay the rent job and not having anything else to do but write another post about why this exists. Sort of a blog starting version of Goth poetry.
What I wish for this blog to be used for is to update people on my current life skips, huddles, and runs. Like how boring work is today. I should probably take the time to write a short story but I’ll probably see if I can bum 60cents off someone to buy a soda since the change machine does not care for the five I keep trying to feed it. Soda’s are my drug.
