The first post is easy, of course. You can be awfully self-referential about the reasons you're creating the blog and also employ some blinding self-deprecation about the lack of quality you'll find on it. That's how I always start these anyway. Maybe I shouldn't this time for a bit of a change but I've already written two short paragraphs and there's no way in hell I can go back now.
You may be wondering why I've not used Blooger before now, as I mentioned that this is my first time roughly 30 seconds ago (depending on how fast you can read). I was using Tumblr before because that was and is the 'hip' thing for the 'hip' youths. My posts kind of didn't fit in there as I wasn't reposting hacky filtered or pseudo-meaningful photographs. I was posting pure comedy gold, much like I'm doing now. Tumblr is no place for intellectuals like us. Us being me. Us could be you too.
I called this website 'Blooger' on purpose earlier. It's a mixture of the words 'Blogger' and 'booger', but it's not a strong piece of material - not least because I'd never use the word 'booger' myself. I'd use 'snot' or 'green shit', but never 'bogey' or 'booger'. It's for this reason that I always felt somewhat left out by Dick and Dom when they'd play the 'Bogies' game. I felt joining in would be a lie because I'd never normally use that word. If I would never use it at a normal volume, screaming it at the top of my lungs is just inexcusable. I'd be compromising the vocabulary I feel comfortable with and the whole puerile escapade would not be inkeeping with the character and personality I'd created hitherto.
I assumed there that everyone knows what the 'Bogies' game is/was. I don't know if it's still played, but I do know that it is/was rubbish. They play a variant of it in the film '500 Days of Summer', which brings me on to my next point.
I love '500 Days of Summer'.
