I look *good*.

I’d like to say that all my posts will be named from “Anchorman” quotes, but posts like “Sex Panther” and “Panda Jerk!” can only take you so far before you start to do serious damage to your personal brand.

And check me out, only one sentence in to my very first post on my very first blog (sorry Nate, but my posting “once every 6-8 weeks, or as long as it takes to get a mail-order Snuggie” doesn’t qualify me for full blogger status over at Blogstring), and I’ve already dropped in a sex joke. Sort of. This is not a good start.

Basically, I’m just calling attention to the fact that I’ve finally filled in some content on this site, which has been quietly idling for months now, waiting for me to snap out of my writing funk. Too bad I am not sure what to write about.

Honestly, I’m not sure what I’m doing here. I only know three things:

1) I need to write more, because I enjoy it, and because like all casual writers I have turned procrastination into a form of high art (case in point, I bought my domain name, oh, 1.5 years ago).

2) My writing in its current form on both Blogstring and Media Bullseye is fairly limited to social media commentary and other 2.0 goodness. I needed a forum to write about the truly important things, like my favorite all time Christmas movies and the wonders of the aforementioned Snuggie.

3) Blogging is fun, and if I received one more whingey email from a friend complaining that I never blog anymore, I was going to have to compose one of those hokey Christmas letters from the point of view of my cats, just to shut people up.

I must admit, I’m kind of excited to be writing under my own brand. Sure, when you blog anonymously you have a lot more freedom to tell embarassing stories, curse, or write about any number of things I would never really write about with my own name on the banner. But this will be the first writing I do that is unequivocally mine–not guest posting on someone else’s blog, not posting silly stories under a Blogger pseudonym, not writing for my employer’s magazine. Just all Wurrey, all the time. Hopefully it will be good, occasionally it will be bad, but I think it will be fun.

I’ve got ideas for running features, and I may post a video now and then of me spouting off about something in my usual colorful way. That may not happen until I figure out a way to make the Macbook’s camera function make me resemble something other than Ursula the Sea Witch, but you never know.

Until then!
