Why did I start a blog with such an outrageous title and such a hard-to-spell web address? So glad you asked. Well, I just started to think one day (this is one of the things I do once in a while) "flabbergast is a strange word." According to the Oxford American Dictionary it means "surprise (someone) greatly; astonish." What a boring definition for such a great word. If I were writing the dictionary I would define it as "to poke someone with a sharp object in the gut." The word sounds kind of violent and I think this definition gives it more justice.
So much for my title. Now to the purpose of this blog. . . On this blog I would like to present some of the absurdities of modern life and just a few of the things that make it worth while. I have the ambitious goal of writing a review of every book I read, and some of the more interesting music that has crossed my ears. I will also probably not be able to resist commenting on politics. Other than this, I might share some of my dreams (actually probably not) and what I am currently thinking about (run through a very strict filter). To all my future loyal fans, thanks for reading!

well hello there. nice around here. every book you read? that'll be the day. I'm excited, this ought to be good.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I predict that I may get a bit lax once I start reading a book a day at NSA (hey, I made a rhyme).
ReplyDeletewow. now we certainly know
ReplyDeletethe maturity level that'll go
all over this blog . . .
my mind is in a fog
over with what go will rhyme
that third time.
I guess I didn't do too bad
for no rhymes having had.
