I Suck At New Layouts

I have no idea where the time went today... and I haven't even been drinking. Karen and I took our baby daughter (Briana) out and about to the local shopping mall to run a few errands. The next thing we know, the entire day has passed. It's amazing how quickly time passes by when you have to take care of a child.

Anyway, with Karen and Briana asleep, I decided to do a few things around the house. This is generally the s.o.p. (standard operating procedure). As I am generally a night owl, I usually do things that I can enjoy while they sleep. Among those things are play video games (which reminds me... I have not done in a while), watch movies, and just play around on the computer. To quote my niece (Kaleigh)... "I'm not tired!"

It just happens that among the things I did today was tinker with this blog. In particular, I created a new layout. Yes, I suck at new layouts. But, I figured I'd change things up. I felt that it was time for something new and refreshing. Of course, it also helps that when I logged in to write a post, there was a new feature about changing the layout. So I figured I'd give it a try. Lo' and behold... here it is.

I Suck At Blogger

as you can see, i suck at capitalization of sentences too.

anyway, this is my first post... ever. i've been toying with the idea of creating a blog, but i never had a subject i wanted to blog about. and so naturally i thought "damn, i suck at blogging" because i can't even come up with something to write about. lo' and behold, this blog was born. (of course, it helped that i had nothing to do last night thanks to the president's state of the union address... if you could see me right now, i'm shaking my fist at the president for interrupting my prime time television viewing).

obviously, i suck at blogger. just look at this blog and you'll see. (hopefully this blog will look better in the following days.) the first indication that i suck at blogger was creating my gmail account. since google now owns blogger.com, i had to create a gmail account to even use blogger. that process itself took a while because every name i wanted to use was taken, but eventually i came up with one.

after creating the gmail account, i then had to name my blog and create a url for it. i sucked at that too. like gmail, everything i wanted to use for the url was already taken. eventually, i ended up with what i have now. yay.

now comes the hard part... actually making this thing look pretty.
