So here it is, my first post here at Blogger.

This isn't really meant to be a first post with lots of thought behind it, but just a message letting people know that they've reached the right place if they've attempted to reach my blog here after it being at Myspace for so long.

If you don't know how much I appreciate you coming over here to read this, I do want to convey that to you now.  I really DO appreciate it.  Almost everybody I'm in contact with I've "known" for quite a while now and although you may not recognize me if I were to pass you on the street, I hope that I've given you some things to think or laugh about (and possibly to fume about) in the last 3 or so years.

Honestly, I had thought about doing this for a while but thought it'd be something nobody would be interested in.  I think I was wrong judging on feedback.  At least, I hope I was wrong.  Myspace has done zero to keep people interested in their site, and I'm tired of writing on a sinking ship.  I am going to continue posting my blogs both here and there (by just copy/pasting new blogs here back into Myspace), but if it seems nobody is even looking at Myspace anymore I'll probably end up ditching it altogether.

So then...do me a favor and "Check in" by commenting on here that you made it....and to show that everything works like it should.  And I'd LOVE feedback too....this is actually a pretty big step, considering I have stood by Myspace for so damn long!

The only way to "subscribe" is over on the right under "Followers".  Not sure, but you may have to have a Gmail account to do it.  Test it out, and see what happens.  Also you can ALWAYS just "favorite" this page if you want in your internet browser.  That's awesome, too.

I'm already thinking about what to write about next....probably something inflammatory....I wanna kick this off with a bang.

  1. Done and done. I, too, was contemplating getting rid of myspace, except for all those comments about you deleting people!

  4. I'm here and on myspace as well. I don't know exactly how the "following" your blog works, but I'm following lol. You have to have gmail, yahoo, or twitter to be able to follow.

  6. I'm here, but the link you messaged me didn't work. It said it was disabled because it was phishing or spam. Just FYI.

  7. I'm here! And I'm glad that you're trying this out - I think that this will be a good thing for your blog. I'll certainly be reading it more often, now that I don't have to sign into myspace anymore to do so! :P

  9. Well, I found my way here and since I have trouble loading my home page on MySpace I think I may get a blog here and do my occasional blog posts here too. --Miina

  10. I got here, and did the follow thing. I'm always on Myspace, just because it's habit to sign in, make sure all the friends are doing okay, then get off. I'm sure this will work out better for ya though. <3

  14. Yes, I'm glad you did this. It's so hard to keep up with every social networking site out there; and to be frank, myspace is fast losing my respect for a variety of reasons. I'm looking forward to what you write; make it politically incorrect and uber offensive! :) TTYL! -K

  27. Made it! I'm just glad I don't have to procrastinate about logging into Myspace anymore to read your inflammatory writings. I can just scratch that off my "To Do" List. Woo!

  28. Hi Chris, I'm glad your rantings have a new home because I can't remember how long it's been since I've been on MySpace and to be honest I don't make it over to Facebook much either. But I think personal blogs are nice.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Here I am! I am following you now, and will receive updates to my work email address (so I don't miss them!). Can't wait to read (and comment on) your first real blog! :)

  31. I've bookmarked this link Chris, thanks for sending it - and I'll read you wherever you are, but I do find it easier to read your blogs on myspace. Please don't give that up altogether?
