First Blog Post – Logic, Irony, and Sleep

Welcome to my blog! This is my first official post on my first official blog. The first blog post.

Why start a blog? Unofficially, I’ve been blogging inside my own mind for years. And I never stop producing mental content, which makes it hard to fall asleep.

So why not deposit these thoughts into the vast morass–the vorass–that is the Internet? I believe my postings will improve the general quality of Internet content (he wrote humbly), if for no other reason than I use the Oxford comma (I apologize for getting political right off the bat).

I named the blog Lemon’s Logic for the alliteration, the syllabic symmetry, and because it’s funny in an ironic sort of way. Not everything I think, say, or write is logical. I’m sure that will become obvious over the course of this blog. Maybe I can add that metric to my site dashboard: the percentage of site content that is logical. The dashboard won’t mind; I already don’t look at most of the items on it. 

Anyway, I’m excited about the blog. Well… mostly excited. I have some anxiety as well. What am I going to do when I become a famous blogging celebrity? I likely won’t have enough time to respond to all my fans, so I feel a bit sad about that. I hereby promise to respond to as much fan mail as I possibly can. It will be answered in the order it is received, so get in line early.

Grandiosity aside, I’m just here to have fun. I don’t really mind if any of my articles get read or not. (The insecure part of me actually would prefer no readers. Maybe I have what it takes to be a writer after all.)

And if it helps me (and other readers) fall asleep, that’s an added benefit.
