My Bad...errr...My Blog!

When I was ten or so I remember my sister telling me that I shouldn't make fun of some one because there was a good chance that I or my kids would wind up having traits similar to those that I was making fun of. This understandably worried me that I would have a kid who was half stupid and half Canadian, which I guess would make a whole Canadian. When my children were born, I was relieved that neither one of them were stupid. They are part Canadian but it comes from their mother's side and it's so minuscule that it can hardly be counted (not even enough to qualify for free health care or hockey tickets).
But I digress, the point I'm trying to make is that I have now become something that I used to make fun of. I am a blogger. I didn't make fun of them so much as I thought that the people who wrote blogs were pathetic whiners who had nothing better to do than bore the rest of the world with their mundane lives. The thing I really thought was ridiculous, was the seemingly endless number of troglodytes who encouraged this kind of behaviour by following these bloggers faithfully!
Recently I wrote some notes to my wife detailing the events of my day. I wrote these to keep my self from getting bored and to avoid that all too frequent conversation at the end of the day when she says, "What did you do to day?" and I say "Oh, nothing!" starting a whole new conversation about how women are better at remembering details than men. I usually respond that women purposely remember the details because they want something to talk about later, and that men purposely don't because they don't want to have to talk later. But that's a different rant for a different day. Anyway, she thought my notes were well worded (if poorly constructed grammatically) and that I should post them. So I did, because I like making people laugh and getting attention. There then followed several suggestions from friends to create a blog so that I could do this more often. At first I rejected the idea because I didn't want to be a "blogger", but when my wife explained to me that I could make a whole lot more people laugh and more importantly get a whole lot more attention, my curiosity was piqued.
So if you read this, Thanks. If you enjoy it, Thanks a lot! If you don't enjoy it than find some thing else to do, loser!
