BUILDING A BLOG. KILL ME NOW.

Welcome to my first blog post! It only took me 10 hours and what seemed like 34,454 tries to get started. (I am beyond computer illiterate, apparently.) Currently, the number of hits listed at the bottom says “19”; unfortunately, those are all from me. In the process, I managed to create four extra “menus” in the editor’s section while only understanding what one of them does. And that pic posted up above says it all. Oh don’t worry, my gun is not currently pointed at the computer anymore. It’s lying safely next to my bowl of cereal on the desk.

Am I the only one who feels as if navigating a computer feels like an episode ofSurvivor? (Okay to be honest, I’ve never watched that show. But the title seems applicable.) I don’t know what half of these terms mean when I use the drop down menus and I’m constantly worrying if the next button I push is going to make my computer blow up, taking all of my labor intensive work along with it! Porca miseria. (Italian: “Miserable pig”- literally. Slang for something else.)

Anyway, I’m glad to finally get started on this project. I’m not even entirely sure that anyone cares to read this blog, although I find myself getting numerous friend requests on Facebook from people whom I’m not really acquainted with. (No, I’m not counting that chic with all the bikini pictures that asks me to be her friend along with 300 other random people.) I’m talking about people who have come to gigs, attend the same church, long-lost acquaintances, band mates, etc. I figure this is the easiest, self indulgent way to post things guilt-free. You know, with not having to worry if I over-posted my food creations or shared too many YouTube videos. Or if someone was weirded out by my creepy toes!

In the meantime, I’m going to make up with my computer and be thankful that we managed to come together to build a blog site.

Now. If only I could figure out how to delete those other four freakin’ menus…………
