First Post.

So I made a blog. A serious one to boot. Sure I've had one of these blogspot things before, and once even a Livejournal, but never did I really take any of those overly serious. Most of the time I just created them so I could read the entries of friends and leave comments. But this time, I suppose I will actually write in it.

But Mat, what could you possibly have to say that is interesting enough to keep a blog about? My answer, nothing, I have nothing overly interesting to say. So that is why I am going to give you my opinion on whatever is on my mind at the time of writing. There will be no set post dates, I will post new entries whenever I feel like it. The more you people pressure me to post the less likely I will be to post. Odds are most of the posts are just going to be incoherent ramblings that are quite cynical. Other times I may write a small story for you fine people to enjoy. Now because I said that I write stories most of you will take that to mean I am some tortured soul who's only outlet is to write his pain on a page. Thats horseshit. I'm not a tortured soul, I'm not an emo kid, and I'm no where near artistic, nor do I consider myself to be a writer so the stories usually suck. But you people are going to read them. You know why? Because you typed this web address into your computer and if you didn't want to read them you wouldn't have come here. So stop denying it and just read the freakin post.

I guess I should let you people know a little about myself. Some background info so you can form an opinion of me if you haven't already. If you have, well then maybe you can refine it so in your mind (if I haven't met you) I just end up kicking more ass than ever before. First, I'm a twenty-two year old male that was born and raised on the prairies of Manitoba. Exciting already I know. Nothing like a flat piece of land. I have spent the majority of my life in some form of educational system, elementary and junior high were in public schools, while high school was a private institution.

After high school I attended the University of Winnipeg for some good ol' fashioned post secondary education. I was enrolled for two years, I don't remember anything I was taught in the 6 or maybe 7 classes I took, and after the second year I bailed on the U of W. Instead I took up a trade.

So flash forward to today, and I'm a Canadian Welding Bureau certified welder. I have no intentions on being a welder for the rest of my life because quite frankly welding sucks. It's hot, it's heavy, and it's loud (not that that will matter in a few years (I'm going deaf you see)). Now that's enough about me.

To start things off, blogs are lame. Blogs are super lame, no body cares what goes on your blog unless you are a celebrity and even then most people only care if you post provocative/explicit photos of yourself. At that point it is just sad really, I mean if you have to degrade yourself to posting nude photographs of you in the internet why not just go out into the straight and stand on a corner naked? You get the same effect but it is a lot more humorous and less tragic. You get people to interact with you, and if you are real lucky you get to see what the inside of the police station looks like.

So my first post was a nothing post, there wasn't really any substance to it, but it was just an introduction. FACT: If everyone stopped reading after the introduction then the planet would be full of stupid people. Anyways, I'm going to have a shower.
