The Maiden Voyage

Ok, so when I was trying to think about how I wanted to start blogging, I wanted to come up with something really creative and entertaining.  I hope that in some way, this blog page will brighten up your day and maybe just give you a little insight into what goes on in my brain.

Q: "What's the deal with your title?  Is this a Pirates of the Caribbean thing?"
A: No, it's not a Pirates thing.  Actually, my wife, Erin (warkymom.blogspot.com) encouraged me to start blogging.  As I was trying to come up with something witty for the title, my inspiration came from above.  Above my head that is.  

Erin and I were shopping at Ross one day when we couldn't afford much.  We stopped by the framed art aisle and I happened upon this picture and I laughed so hard.  


I thought that only an idiot would buy that and put it up in their house.  And then I decided that I was that idiot.  Erin argued with me and tried everything in her power to stop me from buying it, but I was not to be deterred; and in the end, she agreed...I was that idiot.  It had to be in our office!  

The greatest attribute about this picture is that it is 3-D!  Yes, the skull and crossbones come out from the picture!  So when I decided to blog, it had to be an ode to my idiocy.

Q: "So is this blog going to be all things Pirates?"
A: Definitely not.  But now you know how my brain works.  I'm a very randomly witty person.  Funny things pop out at me in the strangest places and I'm always trying to make a pun out of nothing. 

Q: "What is this blog going to be about?"
A: Randomness.  And the joys of finding things interesting and funny in the strangest places.  I hope that you'll be able to enjoy it.
