Blogs

So, of course, my first post has to be about blogging, I guess.  It beats all the random crap about love and Stalin and US working-class culture and death and what-not that's running around my brain.  It seems a bit early to be jumping into all that stuff.  No . . . something much more profound: blogging.

And, of course, I have issues.

With blogging.

So, here I am typing away with the idea that somebody might actually read this.  In which case, I am presuming that I have something profound to say.  And that you, fearless reader, assuming I am not just going to be posting this in some forlorn and lonely corner of the 'net, have for some reason decided to read this - for edification, perhaps?  or perhaps for voyeuristic onanism of a sort?  or maybe just for the shits and giggles?

but then, don't you have something better to be doing?

as you shall see (if I continue to update and you continue to follow), I fancy myself a bit of an intellectual revolutionary (more on the problematic of that concept at some future date).  So, I'm waiting, one might even say praying, for the revolution (more on the conceptualization of that concept also in the future).  But then, what the hell are you and I both doing here - writing and reading this crap when we should be out making the revolution, storming the barricades, organizing the masses?

oh well . . .
