I'm starting this blog simply because I thought of a name for one. I could say that I have always wanted to write one (I haven't) or that I am doing this instead of keeping a diary (diary's are for chicks). I could say that I want to be creative and add something of value to the world (like animated .gifs and webcomics!). In reality, I was struck with a blog name that I found:
a) Humorous
b) Witty with a potentially high cheese-ball factor
c) Reflective of the discombobulated dross of information I plan on dumping here
It was the kind of moment where you say "That should be a band name!" and then you and your friends (and that weird kid next door) start a bad grunge rock band in the basement. Only instead of a band, it a blog. So I went with it.
"Why elephants?" you might ask. Because they are awesome. Nobody messes with an elephant unless they want a giant ivory tusk impaled through their vital organs. The average NEWBORN elephant weighs 260lbs, making it roughly the size of an NFL linebacker. They are a gentle, peaceful species, wise and majestic, but bring the fight to them and they will wreck your face. They enjoy showers almost as much as I do (Disney's Jungle Cruise! If I didn't actually need a decent salary, that would be my job. Telling god-awful jokes, wearing an Indiana Jones hat and steering a boat that is on a track? Yes Please!).
Also, their nose is a hand.
But I digress. This blog will feature (in no particular order):
- Incoherent ramblings
- Bad puns
- Discussions of popular culture (does anyone still care about Paris Hilton? 'Cause I don't.)
- Sports talk
- Random internet discoveries
- Adventures from Azeroth, Outland and soon to be Northrend
- The occasional movie review (Loved Avatar, saw it twice... but let's be honest. It's Pocahontas)
- Anything geeky / nerdy (as if WoW isn't enough)
- Gag-tastically cheesy releationship photos
Yeah... on second thought, probably actually not too many of these...
In conclusion: I will leave comments enabled if anyone feels the urge to argue my perfectly valid points regarding the awesomeness of elephants, but will probably just delete trolls and USC fans (I'm a Human Frost Mage from UCLA.... what do you expect?).
