Mark's First Blog

Okay, I realize that "Mark's First Blog" is a stupid title for something as historic as my long-awaited entry into the Blogosphere, but all of the good titles were already taken. I wanted an impressive, majestic, memorable title, one that would convey the earth-shaking significance of this amazing moment in Internet history. Unfortunately, the only titles I could think of were already being used. I thought that "The Bible" would be a great title for my first blog, but a friend of mine told me there's already a really old book with that name. Then I came up with "American Idol," but apparently some TV show is already using that one. And when I found out that somebody had already used "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," I just gave up, and decided on "Mark's First Blog."

Anyway, I have big plans for this blog. BIG plans. I'm talkin' BIG, BIG plans. I'd like to share those big plans with you, but, unfortunately, I have no idea what those big plans actually are. You'll just have to stay tuned to find out. Oh, and by the way, I've decided that I will not post a new entry until I have a certain number of comments about my current entry. After all, why should I waste my time composing new entries if nobody is reading them? That would be really stupid, almost as stupid as the title of my first blog entry.

Many concerned readers are now asking, "Gee, Mark, how many comments will you need before posting a new entry?" Well, I'm thinking about 100,000, so get busy! Of course, comments from family members don't count.

And speaking of family members, I want to thank my wonderful daughter, Dominique, (http://www.dominiquerose.blogspot.com/) for convincing me that blogging would be a great way to showcase my wit, wisdom and incomparable talents. Thanks, sweetie! I'm sure you're already regretting your suggestion.

Well, that wraps up my first official blog entry. Pretty exciting, eh? Remember, if you want more blog entries from the Amazing Markimus, start commenting! Meanwhile, check out these fantastic sites:
