A Proper Introduction...

This year: 2013, marks the 10th anniversary that I discovered the vast and ever-growing universe known as the "internet". I was using it through the family computer, which then was the iMac G4 or the "Sunflower"(remember those?) Having discovered it through school and using it mostly at home during my spare time, I became addicted. Sure I "used it to research school projects" but I primarily used it to research the topics I was interested in, which in those days consisted primarily of Hollywood projects and theme parks(my interests have expanded since, though only slightly) as well as playing the occasional game. I knew I was addicted to it then, though I couldn't tell you the extent of my addiction a decade later.

Today I use the social network sites Facebook and Twitter daily, have two email accounts, have an Amazon account(which I use) an eBay account(which I don't) and a YouTube account(which I use seldomly) use iTunes, Netflix and have left literally thousands of posts on various message boards(under different names) oh yeah and visit many internet pages and watch several live-streamed shows(I once watched two streamed shows at once while watching tv, living the Back To The Future Part II fantasy). The one thing on the internet that I've pretty much left to do(beside start a podcast) is start a blog.  I've thought about it many times, but decided against it lamenting my own insignificance. It wasn't until on of my very few Twitter followers, BumpyGrumpy, encouraged me with a tweet stating "Do it anyway. Even just to amuse yourself".

Let the amusement begin!

My blog's title, "The Rambling Rock" comes from my disdain for my current location, Colorado, the nation's centennial state. I exclaim in public how Colorado is so pathetic, the highest rated tourist attractions is literally a pile of rocks! So in a way, this blog will give me the chance beyond Facebook and Twitter for me to rant about...stuff.

But not just that. I hope to share my thoughts on the news, current events, history and certain things going in my life. Hopefully some of it will be optimistic. I'm determined to make you laugh, cry and be completely confused. If I do a good enough job, some of you will be filled with contempt and disgust, as those are the readers who always insist on returning. For now, I bid you adieu, but I shall return!
