Declaration of Intent

This blog is now officially active. I have started it. I have given it life and now it will be up to me to keep it alive with regular care and nourishment. It shall consist of tales of my life after college (the so-called "real world" feared by college students the world over), anecdotes and observations, a bit of fiction now and again, and probably a lot of musing.

It shall be written in a font called "Trebuchet", because that makes it sound like I am flinging my words at you, my readers, over the walls of a castle. Even if the font itself appears deceptively meek, never forget that it is actually coming at you from behind a curtain wall at 50 miles an hour, covered in flaming pitch.

It has been titled "Six impossible things before breakfast" after a quote from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland by the Red Queen:

Alice: “There is no use trying; one can't believe impossible things."
Queen: "I dare say you haven't had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” 

So there.

I am not writing this blog for any particular purpose, other than to provide myself with a motive for writing. If it provides entertainment for anyone else, I will be glad. If not, I can live with that. So read on, dear reader, if curiosity prompts you to peer closer. 

Let's see what we can do with a font called Trebuchet and a little creative spark.

  1. Muahaha.

    That is all.

    P.S. I lied. I shall also mention that will be hiding inside my star-fort to resist your Trebuchet. Far superior to your mere curtain wall. Muahaha.

  3. You got the order all wrong. As any artillery-man can tell you, it's Ready! Fire! Aim!

    I hereby declare myself protected by the power of absurdity.
