the inaugural speech

here i sit twenty years and some odd months into my life, and i have been persuaded by the keen observation and reflection that i have given to colleen's blog, that i myself have a lot of ideas, concerns, and just plain terms in my head that would be most profitable inked [or in this case, typed] onto paper [or screen].
consequently, i have decided that to truly honor the first blog, a writer always needs to start out with a bang; to provide the reader with the sensation of a "ka-pow", "ka-boom", or other sounds that mimic either those of fourth of july fireworks or bad indigestion.
as for this next section, i have deliberated for past forty-five seconds [which, my friends, when lounging in beautiful arkansas is a lengthy amount of time] whether to provide you, the reader, with either a comical preview of what this blog really could be, or simply a glance into what really happens in the mind of myself, and which more than likely will become the outcome of this blog. as a result, you will now receive choice number two: [after the prolonged duration of the forty five second debate, i believe i did pick the right one. this selection will allow for both a salty and sweet mix of satisfaction and pleasure.]
i'll let you in on a little secret: myself: always unsatisfied, selfish, inconsiderate, annoying.
what i'm becoming: patient, gentle, kind, righteous, humble, true, and merciful.
dude. that hope, that yearning, that craving can seriously be filled. yes.
and i thank god because saga is seriously not doing anything in the "filling" department.
but, while merging humor and genuineness, i hope you can see my heart. and that you'll stick it out with me.
so, my dear friends, i thank you for hanging in there tonight, and reading the above mentionables even though you probably should've be reading a 154 page humanities chapter, or as you've pushed though the distraction created by your roommate's snotty nose.
i hope we have an interesting future together.
-b.rose out.

currently, friend, I am the roommate with the snotty nose.
I love your opening sentences...they are quite worthy of the term "inaugural".
B.Rose. Let's blog together.
