Welcome to My Blog

 So, I have started this blog primarily as a way to keep my skillset in tip-top shape. You see, I have a very particular set of skills...you know, I have honestly never seen Taken. I sometimes wonder how many people have, because that is the only line I ever hear quoted from that movie, and I am pretty sure it was in the trailer. Is it even any good? Let me check...(googles Taken)...you know, it kind of has mediocre reviews, about half positive and half negative. It must have been at least moderately good because they made a second one...wait a second...it made a quarter of a billion dollars! And if you combine all three (I thought there were only two) it has made almost one billion! Why did they stop at three? I guess the last one made about 50 million less. I can just imagine some cigar smoking studio executive being talked to.

"Sir, the results for the new Taken movie are in."  

"Great! How did we do? 400 million?"

"Actually we got closer to 326 million"

"WHAT?! That is 50 million less than the last one!"

"Yes, but sir it is still quite a bit of..."

"...I don't care! 50 million is at least 2 corporate retreats cancelled! Pull the plug Jimmy."

At least that is probably how it went. Or maybe it was because it got obliterated by critics, I don't know, that never really stopped Michael Bay. And 4 billion transformer dollars later, I don't think bad reviews really matter that much.

Anyway...I am really not sure what I want this blog to be. The only reason it's here is because I was looking at Google's apps and thought, "Hey look! They have a blogging service!" Apparently, it has actually been there for some time, and I didn't know about it, but I thought making a blog sounded like a good way for me to get a little bit of that creativity itch satisfied. So I bought the domain, to give myself at least some accountability, and made a picture header. And if you are wondering about the Flamingo, I just like them. So if you are reading this the day it was posted, you are probably my wife, and if that's the case, love you girl! If you are reading it anytime after that, you are probably still my wife (or maybe family member), but if by some off chance you are someone I don't know, welcome to my blog!
