Whoa.

Whoa.

A second post, less than 24 hours after the first, and likely last one? There hasn't been this much mindbending outside of the old GI Joe cartoons!

Filler done, now for...content? Sure.

I guess I could do an "About Me" sort of post, although it kind of seems like writing about myself is the surest sign that I don't have anything else to write about. Then again, that's pretty much true, so here goes...

I'm north of 35 but south of 40. Married, with a daughter. Born and raised in Florida, now living in Sarasota. I've never seen snow. I'm a teacher, for a virtual program, so I work from home. Live in the south, like beer and sports, and joined a fraternity in college but the image that conjures in your imagination is far, far from the truth. Far. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.

Continuing...massive sci fi & comedy fan, especially when the two are combined. Could live for a long time on a diet consisting of Firefly, Doctor Who, Monty Python, Douglas Adams, and Eddie Izzard. Most of that stuff is British, not sure if that means anything. Also a big fan of Sherlock, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad & Sleepy Hollow.

Politics and religion? I have my sets of beliefs in both areas but doubt I'll ever discuss either here. If your beliefs are the same, that's cool. If they aren't, that's cool too. I have no interest in changing yours and hope that is reciprocated.

I'm in a shape, just not the one I probably should be in. Working on that, vaguely. Did a couple 5k races this year - Warrior Dash, Color Me Rad, and Disney's Happy Haunted 5k Trail Race. Had a lot of fun with those, looking fwd to more next year, but nothing definite yet.

I've gotten back into tabletop games a lot over the last two years. Love stuff like Munchkin, Quao & Mad Quao, Fluxx, CAH, etc.

I'm on Twitter at @mattcox & Instagram at _matthewcox_

That's everything off the top of my head, so now my head looks even odder than usual, I suppose...

Space Monkey Mafia

At this point in my life, there's only two reasons or times I ever get this far along in the "I should start a blog" thinking - either it's late at night in the middle of a vacation or I'm alone in the house for at least an entire day and have already cleaned my desk. Well, it's 2:30am on the 4th day of winter break, so if you had option one - winner, winner, chicken dinner.

I'm sure this will go the way of every other blog I've started, which means this will be the first and likely last post. Go ahead and print it out, or wait a year or so - it'll take me at least that long to delete this and start over.

Anyway, why a blog? Why now? Who in the seven hells still blogs anymore? Aren't all of the features of blogs broken up in several different social networks (also owned by Google) by now anyway? Sure. Probably. But I REALLY don't feel like a) going to bed or 2) cleaning my desk, so it's either this or watch Godfather 2.

Nah, I'll just go to bed. But I promise to write something sorta substantial later. Don't hold your breath, though. That's just unattractive.

See?
