As I often do when I get a little bored with the idea of blogging, I’m going to introduce a new topic in an effort to spice things up.
Money. What else did you expect to see here?
You see, I’m a regular guy with a regular job, so I spend a lot of time thinking about regular things. One of the regular things I think the most (other than various people without clothes) is money. And because I’m a regular guy with a regular job I often find myself not having much of it.
Most of these thoughts about money are just that: idle thoughts. They have absolutely no merit, no usefulness and they are mostly pretty darn stupid. Most people have the luxury of getting stupid ideas and being able to forget them a few minutes later.
But not me. I’m a blogger. As a blogger it is my pleasure, nay, moral obligation to share these stupid ideas with millions of people on the internet. I do not take this responsibility lightly.
To make sure that I have a proper forum for my stupid ideas about money I’m going make yet another category here exclusively for stupid money ideas. I think I’m going to call it “Stupid Money Ideas.” I figure I’m uniquely qualified to write a personal finance blog about money for two reasons:
1. I’m a person.
2. I have finances.
And, besides, personal finance blogs are all the rage right now with people spilling their guts about how they over spent and under saved for years and now they’re blogging about how they spend every penny in hopes of digging their way out of debt and becoming a millionaire in the next two years. These blogs are filled with fairly stupid tips about saving money like, “I never throw pennies in fountains! Instead I save them up and at the end of the year I could have an extra 12 cents! Wow!”
Fear not, this will not be that kind of personal finance blog. You don’t care how I spend my money unless I do something incredibly illegal and even then you only care if I was kind enough to post photos. Most of my posts about money will be completely useless, stupid and a general waste of time. That’s worked for this blog over the last two years, so I don’t see any reason to change now.
Remember: if you take away anything useful from this site (and, really, most of the internet) then you’re surely dumber than you think you are.
