Know your blogger September 12, 2008

So I figured I should write an introductory type blog on here. Instead of just writing a solid block about why I created this site and what I’ll be writing about, I decided to do a little question and answer for any of you unfortunate bastards that happen to come across this blog. So sit back, put your feet up and enjoy.
Q: Why did you decide to start a blog?
A: Boredom? It was late at night, I was in a writing mood so I decided why the hell not. I had been meaning to do something to get into writing again since I haven’t done that in well over a year now. It’s hard to go from writing as much as I used to, to never writing at all. I figured this was as good a way as any to get back into it.
Q: What type of writing did you use to do?
A: I used to be a sports writer for newspapers. I started doing that in college and continued until about two years ago. After a nice vacation I got back into newspapers, but I am now on the production side of things so no more writing for me, not counting things like headlines and cutlines of course.
Q: Why did you choose this site to blog on?
A: I wasn’t really sure what the difference between the blogging sites was. I just wanted something that was easy to maintain. I know enough about computers to get by, but I definitely am no expert so it couldn’t be anyplace that was too complex. Ultimately I went with this one cause my friends Burke and Arla also have a blog on here. The address for theirs is drive2dine.wordpress.com if you want to check it out.
Q: What are you gonna be talking about in this blog?
A: Your guess is as good as mine. I’ll pretty much just be writing about whatever pops into my mind when I get in the mood to write. Or maybe I’ll see something that peaks my interest and I’ll decide to write about that. My blogs could end up being about anything from sports to weather to cartoons to what I did on a certain weekend. I barely know what I’m gonna be talking about for the rest of this Q&A, much less what I’ll be writing about in future blogs.
Q: Why would people care about these rants?
A: No one’s asking them to. This is just a way for me to get writing outta my system and entertain a few people along the way. I’m not trying to change anyone’s life with what I have to say. But if it gives them a few laughs or just a different way of looking at things, that’s good enough for me.
Q: Why did you go with Crazy Cuban for your site’s address?
A: Well, basically No. 1 I’m Cuban and B most of what I write will probably be crazy to most people. Since this is all for fun I’ll pretty much just be rambling about whatever pops into my head. And since this is just my little corner of the Word Wide Interweb, I don’t gotta worry about little things like whether or not what I have to say is fit to be published. That type of freedom will be pretty nice.
Q: Are you going to be on a steady writing schedule?
A: Probably not. It’s mostly gonna depend on when I get the urge to write something. About the only consistent thing will be that most of my writing will come late at night. That’s always when I’m most creative. Oh, and the whole working till midnight thing might play a factor in the late night writing as well.
Q: So any hints on what your next blog will be about?
A: You’ll just have to keep checking back to see for yourself. The beauty of my warped mind is that no one ever knows what could pop up in there. As you can tell from the few blogs I have on here, I tend to jump from one thing to something completely unrelated. So I guess that best answer I can give is that if you’re excpecting one thing from me, you’ll probably be getting the complete opposite.
your blog is great! i started one of these pages months ago but it has nothing on it yet. so, is the only way to subscribe to your blog is to do the “feed” thing? i’m not that technilogically savvy. i want to know when you write more but i don’t want to “download” anything to my computer … me needs help!
