Welcome friends, to the Roblog

You know, I was at my computer, trudging through tedious job applications, wondering how I can make my resume more impressive, and somehow carve out something for myself. I sit there every day, reading poorly-written, short-sighted posts from people with little to no business on a keyboard, and I thought to myself, "What does the world really, truly need...?" The answer hit me like the putrid cloud from a Gulf Coast lift station; Another opinionated douchebag writing a blog nobody reads! It's nothing short of genius. I can hone my marginally impressive writing skills, while entertaining hundreds! Well... dozens! Okay- occasionally my sister! And with that, I give you, the maiden voyage of "The Roblog Lolblog."

I'd ask you to follow me here on Google+, but let's be honest, that's like asking you to listen to a Zune podcast. What's that? Exactly. So, I'll share periodic links to my Facebook account, and make it relatively easy to stay updated on my pseudo news.

If you haven't already lost interest and stopped reading, you're probably wondering, "What exactly will Robert be writing about?" A fair question, a couple of my good friends have wildly entertaining and insightful blogs, and it's been said that for it to be successful, you should specialize in a certain niche. However, the expectation of success has never stood in the way of my frivolous ventures before, so, onward and downward! In the end, what can I promise for this blog? Slightly-doctored anecdotes, somewhat insightful reviews of entertainment, mildly obscure references, and the occasional thought-provoking opinion piece.

This first entry is obviously just an introduction to my blog, and the first actual piece has yet to be decided. I'm leaning towards "Swapping Analog Communication for Digital... In Humans" (for obvious reasons). I'll try not to beat you to death with incomprehensible wording. That being said, my writing certainly won't be a collection of TMZ-style meaningless idiocy, so have your Wiktionary tab ready if you were, suffice to say, never an English major. Meow, in the mildly unexpected condition that you really enjoy my writing, and have a suggestion for a subject you'd like to hear me address, I would obviously love to hear from you. So sit back, plan out an extended bathroom break, and get ready for a series of articles that will entertain you, possibly piss you off, and occasionally make you say "Hmm... I guess he kind of has a point."
