So this is it. The first blog on my brand new little Blogspot page. This blog was started as a competition against a friend, one who thinks people care that she doesn’t understand what the Michelin man is, and cannot take criticism for wasting 30 seconds of good browsing time reading that kind of drivel. When it all comes down to it, who cares what the Michelin man is. Those ad execs who came up with him are good at their jobs, because at least one person in the world cannot sleep at night without wondering aloud what the Michelin man is. They set off to make a marketable and memorable picture for their product, and lo and behold, they succeeded. Good job, Michelin ad execs, for confusing Megan.
Besides that, this blog will hopefully be, at times, amusing, and at others, sad. I like to think that I can be a halfway decent writer when I put my mind to it, and since the gauntlet was thrown down, I will participate and focus on this, and only this, until I win. Who needs to bathe, eat, sleep, or go to work? Maybe I can get some corporate sponsorship for this thing once millions of people are reading it so I no longer have to work and can pay minions to do my bathing for me. That will be the ultimate prize in this friendly competition.
So friends, new and old, welcome along for the ride. As I say on the main page, if you like this little blog of mine, feel free to share it with others. If you don’t like it, I thank you for your time and feel free to move on to another. I appreciate feedback, both positive and negative, though if given negative feedback, I may resort to name calling and other forms of character assassination. Thank you for your time so far and check back again soon for some more “Random Thoughts from a Random Guy.”
It’s Alan’s wife, Jenny. I just wanted to be the first to tell you welcome to blogging and good luck on your quest for bragging rights!! I’m not sure exactly what the competition is between you and Megan but I will help where possible! 🙂 I have a feeling I will enjoy reading your blog, as I loove randomness!!!!
Thanks Jenny. I don’t know what the prize will be either, but whatever it is, I will win it. Thanks for reading!
Win, my ass! You have no idea what you’re dealing with. Just wait…
By the way, I am up to at least three different readers on this little blog. What do you have to say about that, Ms. “What is the Michelin Man?”
