Modest Opening

So this is the new blog. If you count both the LiveJournal and the Blogspot incarnation of King of Ants this marks my fourth attempt to get a decent blog going. The third blog was my horrific attempt to start a wrestling blog which lasted two posts. I have deleted both King of Ants and Death Valley Driver to focus on my the future. Lucky for me I was able to save a particular update about anime that got me over at least with a few people.

When I looked at why KoA failed I believe it was the complete lack or direction I had. Instead of being some sort of power washer I was a hose on that mist setting. Most of the time I went from something sort of meaningful to a bit about pro wrestling the next day. Wrestling actually seemed to dominate the blog until it's very death when I discussed John McCain on Twitter (which I'm now on).

What I find even worse is when I tried starting a wrestling specific blog I got one true post in (not counting an intro such as this). I ended up falling asleep the next week for Raw and it was all downhill from there. That said it's now buried underneath the three Xangas I had in 7th grade and hopefully they stay there.



So now we have my newest creation, Digital Lobsters. What that means really I don't want to explain now. I thought it was kind of funny though, and the acronym DL is better than KoA. Plus King of Ants sounded too narcissistic for me. I'm not king of shit (yet).

I'm going to make a serious attempt to update this blog at least three times a week. I'm not 100% sure what this will turn into exactly. My goal here is to be able to mention wrestling only in passing so it does not dominate the blogscape. Here's to hoping this is somewhat intelligent and quasi-witty.


I would love to actually post something tonight, but I'm reeling over a last minute Chelsea defeat to Barcelona, and for that I'm going to need mass amounts of gin and sleep.
