The Beginning? The End? Who Knows? We'll See.

Hello, my name is Marlon (yeah, like the sandwich) and I have no idea what I'm doing with my life or where this is going.

So, as the story goes, one fine pre-summer day in Southern California as the penultimate week of another mainly pointless semester at "Local Community College" came to a close. A twenty-year-old ne'er-do-much decided to start a blog his mother didn't read. Which brings me here to you (whomever you may be) testing out two prospective blogs, Blogger and Wordpress, Wordpress and Blogger. Battle of two blogging titans for the sweet affections of this fair gentleman, first and most loved son of his father.

My decision on where to blog would be so much easier if Typepad didn't cost so much freakin money to join (i.e. any money at all. Alas, I am but a poor lad with naught but $4.72 in pennies, nickles, quarters and maybe one dime to his name.) Because TypePad is what Kat Dennings uses. Despite the fact that I have seen Big Mama's House 2 and haven't seen anything she has played in that was worth watching, I became an instant fan upon seeing her youtube channel and reading her blog so anything she says is cool is cool with me. . .even though she likes crap music like David Bowie and probably enjoys crap movies starring David Bowie like Labyrinth.

Right now, as we speak/I type and maybe you speak (who knows what you the hypothetical reader of my glorious Blogger blog may be doing now at 5:49pm Pacific Time on Sunday the twenty-fifth of May in the two-thousand-and-eighth year of our lord Jesus Christ, is doing, maybe robbing a bank. Don't worry friend, I'll be your alibi, we were having a fascinating conversation about religion, politics and race-relations in foreign countries.) I am reading about Wordpress on their website in the process of signing up, and let me tell you, it's already more interesting, if you like that sort of thing where a website speaks in familiar terms and gives information without all the weirdo legal jargon; I do. If the site was in Spanish or French it would without a doubt make use of the "tu" forms of words (maybe Italian too, but I know nothing about Italians aside from the fact that most of them live in New York and the Blonde ones are fabled to have delicious hair of mozzarella¹). I hear, however, that Blogger is in league with Google and--having a gmail account and a junkie-like reliance on its search engine-- I fully enjoy having Google as the center of my internet experience. You can't imagine my disappointment in finding that I loved Zoho far more than Google Docs (not to say that I wish Google Docs would change, I like it the way it is). Blogger seems pretty nice so far though, I have no problems with it. Except, does it bother anyone else that this "Blogger saves posts automatically now" thing pops up every 20 seconds?


There was much more I wanted to say but often times I suffer from TL;DR syndrome², so I'll save that for my Wordpress entry. (yes, I'll be posting unique blog entries to each one so I can get the feel for typing into the website instead of just copy-pasting)

I leave you with the pretense of love,
Marlon Dearest

1. Don't believe everything you hear, I had to learn the hard way that my mirror can not serve as a gateway to a fantastic world of whimsy and chess. And despite what the movies may lead you to believe, prison is not a great place to make friends and grow as a human being.

2. I write to frukkin much. (TL;DRs lead to many STFUs and GTFOs, I assume, though if I ever received one, it would have led to the giving individual's imminent murder.)
