I've decided to start a blog. Mostly out of the self-righteous illusion that the thoughts that idly pass through my brain on their way to extinction are worthy of documentation and interesting enough for others to read.
My logic is as follows: I'm hard to amuse. I amuse myself. Ergo, I have the potential to amuse others.
"Potential" being the operative word. It would be a positive externality if, while sending yourself into a fit of cackles, your inane humor happened to amuse others.
You're just lucky that you can count among your friends those whose senses of humor are (proudly) as obscure as yours :)
The best part is you won't even need to hire guest bloggers -- you can just copy and paste your Dad's email missives onto your site for the "Ex-Bolshevik Verbosity of the Day" feature.
ps, is your background grey? are you trying to set the proper tone for the gloomy snark fest you're about to unleash upon the blogosphere? or have I just selected the entire page...
Yes, its true. I find it completely irrelevant whether other people enjoy this blog, or me, for that matter.
THANK GOD I have accidentally ensnared a few unwitting friends to fall victim to my humor.
And yes, I plan on sharing frequently my father's emails. There is truly nothing better. I just added his most recent to my "favorite quotes" on FB. It is a true piéce de résistance.

And yes. It's gray like my soul.
