Let's kick things off with a little Q & A
Q: You suck!
A: Not really a question, but I'll still field this one. I do suck. But so do lots of people.
Q: Why should I care/read/bother with this?
A: I'm not sure, but if you're bored, how could it hurt?
Q: So what's the deal?
A: I'm glad you asked. We'll be discussing sports, specifically Philly teams, but not from a "let's dissect the special-teams unit of the Philadelphia Soul, more like, "whose jersey would you get from the '93 Phils?" We will also tackle music, drinking, and all the things that I am good at.
Q: So whose jersey would you get?
A: Dave Hollins. Blue collar, solid mullet, led the league in getting hit by pitches, and once charged the mound from the dugout.
Q: Let's be serious here.
A: Again, not sticking with the Q & A format, but let's. If you hang around, you'll be treated to some bold blogging. I hate to describe myself because it's kind of stupid, but I may post some worthwhile things, including some funny stories I've written in the past (brace yourself, you're reading someone who has written upwards of 4 articles for their not-so-impressive college's newspaper). If my math is correct, that averages out to about one per year. Hopefully we'll be a little more efficient on the blog, but the bar's already been set pretty high. Also, I had an article published in the Philadelphia Daily News titled The Fate of Philly SportsWorld Rests in My Hands so we'll try and get that up here. Other than that, I've got a million great ideas, and this is where I will share them. Movie ideas, sandwich ideas, recreational lawnsports ideas, you name it, I've got something going.
Alright, I don't want to take up too much of your time with my initial blog, so I'll leave you with my final thought:
The Collective Global Unconscious.
It's real.
And it's no joke.
Just the other day I used it to predict an offer for a Sixers ticket and a moment of clarity for Morris "MoPete" Peterson.
Oh, and furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that absolutely no one is going to read this blog...unless I start promoting it as hard as I do Starbury's. (Which, incidentally, are available at Steve & Barry's in the Franklin Mills Mall for under 10 bucks. Hurry now, while supplies last.)
