I swear, this blog won’t be all about me. There are, frankly, hundreds and hundreds of great blogs out there and this isn’t one of them. Maybe it will be great one day, or more likely just tolerable, but not yet. I’m still trying to figure out how to post an entry without having to email the web tech guy every 17 seconds. It would also be nice to get words to appear in that thought bubble over there to the right above my floating head. Theoretically, that will be where you can see my Twitter* status. No idea why you’d want to see that here, but then again, I’m not sure why you’d want to see it on Twitter either.

*I have been Twittering for exactly two days now. Here it is. It’s going well, in the sense that no one who actually knows how to Twitter has made fun of me yet. (Just for the record, this asterisk aside is dedicated to Joe Posnanski, one of my favorite sportswriters who also happens to have a great blog. I’d give you the link, but you might not come back. He loves putting little asides into his blog posts and even came up with a word for them … “Pozerisk (PAHZ-tur-isk), noun. An aside that has nothing whatsoever to do with anything but is thrown into the middle of the story because the author thinks it’s funny.” That sounds about right.)

So this is Blog No. 1. The Original. Ten years from now, people will say, “I wonder what Matt James’ first blog post was about,” and someone else will say, “Who?”
