Well, I never thought I'd see the day, but I have a blog of my own. As my buddy fnjord put it, "I like new technology, but I don't like blogs. Thus I am torn." So hey, let's give this thing a shot and see what comes of it. If nothing else, I have a new place to put my song of the week... and it gives me a place to rant on about all those strangely amusing things that I notice during the course of a week.

So without further ado, here's a story: I was grocery shopping two days ago, and I ran into a coupon for $0.25 off any purchase of seafood. That's cool, except that it was a mail-in rebate. Last time I checked, stamps cost more than $0.25 (although I couldn't tell you HOW much more than $0.25 they cost since the price seems to change daily.) Anyway, that means that the rebate would actually cause me to LOSE money. Now, I'm not a marketing major, but I still fail to see how that promotion helps ANYONE. Maybe someone out there can enlighten me on this.

Anywho, that's it for the first post. I'm officially a blogger. Try not to hold it against me.

Song of the day: Somewhere a Clock is Ticking - Snow Patrol
