Introduction

Good afternoon folks!

In this, the next logical step in my gradual descent into egregious narcissism, I will be bringing you periodic--and likely very frequent--updates regarding thoughts, observations, happenings, and goings-on from my life. The goal, ultimately, is to explain my thoughts and feelings about various things that I encounter in the course of, you know, life in the hopes of imparting some...thing to the world. Hopefully I will be able to share these random musings with folks so they'll be able to have an idea of what interests me in case they get a hankering to have a conversation with me.

There are a few housekeeping matters that I would like to discuss. First, the title is entirely misleading. Several months ago, a friend of mine suggested that I should start a blog called "Dinner and a Movie with Alex Owings" because, at the time, I would regularly go out for dinner, see movies, and then give her an exhaustive explanation of my thoughts concerning the restaurants and movies I went to. Now, however, I very rarely see movies, and I have not eaten what would traditionally be considered a "dinner" in over two months. However, I still liked the name, so I decided to go with it. Also "dinner and a movie" is the traditional first date and I figured that if I showed this blog to any woman I was interested in then she'd have an idea of the sort of person I am and whether I am the sort of man she'd be interested in...thereby obviating the need for a traditional first date. Although I guess if I really liked a girl and said "hey, go check out my blog" chances are she'd immediately start by thinking "he's not the sort of man I'd be interested in"...so, yeah, I probably won't actually be telling women I'm interested in to look at this blog on the principle that that's a pretty lame way to flirt.

Also, my posting name is Office JD. That's supposed to be a pun on House, M.D. Cause he's House...and I'm Office...and he was a M.D. and I'm a J.D. ...? Heh...heh heh heh... Whoever you are, I hate you for not even cracking a smile at that.

More to come...
