I did this to myself...

I would like to start this blog off by confessing fully that I’ve no idea why I’ve chosen this endeavor. I know fully that the popularity I seek is misguided and unnecessary. However, despite this being a blatant deterrent, I have for some reason decided to dedicate portions of my day to this blog anyway.

I, perhaps like many of you, have foolishly chosen to work in an office. I spend most hours of every day sitting at a desk, pondering why I’ve chosen to do such meaningless work, while mechanically moving piles of paper from one corner of my desk to the other. In essence, I’ve willing broken my own spirit.

And that is what brings me here. I’ve noticed that several sites across the interwebs have become vastly popular. Some sites simply add text to picture of cats. Others focus on the failure of day to day life by idiotic people. Some bloggers have cashed in on the relentless popularity and near feeding frenzy of loyal readers. Some sites thrive off of the opinions of others, sometimes blatantly egotistical, and rarely objective. And though I plan full heartedly to criticize them, I hope to one day exploit you as well, just as they have, for my own greedy self-serving purposes, by somehow creating a spectrum of all for all you near-feeding-frenzy-loyal-readers.

So I offer these words to you. I offer my thoughts, my criticism, and my constant (consistent?) effort to understand why we as a human race do all that is possible to destroy our own spirits. Maybe I’ll just write blog s. Maybe I’ll spend some time trying to convince myself I can create web comics that people understand and enjoy. Who knows? Anything’s possible, I suppose, as you have all indicated that there's a market out there for anything.

In my efforts to address this rising problem, I plan to work in categories:

• Dumbass things we buy
• Dumbass things we do
• Dumbass things we believe
• Dumbass things we like

So without further delay, I bring to you the website WeDidThisToOurselves.com, because despite what your apron-clad mother told you, we did, in fact, do all of this to ourselves. We created the shitty situation we’re in, and it’s up to us to dig ourselves out, even if it is just visting some silly blog. I hope to carve out my own little corner of the interweb, but eagerly admit that I expect to join the many before me that have gone down in less than glorified flames. So drink your coffee or beer or whatever it is you like at the moment, and try to enjoy my misguided rants and raves about our self inflicted societal misery.
