The First Blog Entry Ever
Don't be confused.
This isn't the first blog entry ever made in the history of the internet. This isn't even a blog entry about the first blog entry ever made, although I'm sure there are countless Wikipedia and message board posts dedicated to the subject. There might even be a Digg or two. Do a search, don't bother me about it. I don't know the information.
What I'm talking about is the first blog entry for the year 2007 and for The Game Rag. I made a couple of resolutions this year and one of them is to actually take a part in this site and not just run it into the ground as I have been doing for the past year or less. This is a new day for Nathan Smart, friends.
I should probably define "friends" since I've so liberally used it. By "friends" I mean my dear readers of this site - and you are dear. I also mean weary internet travelers who have come here from a lonely Google search on Japanese pedophilia (I accept you!*) And let's not forget those that hate; for it's those that hate that get hated and no one likes to be on either end of hating (I still haven't quite figured out that semi-colon - is this a proper use?).
Anyways, here's to turning ourselves into a real site. On the agenda:
-site redesign: I think this is the one thing that our site needs to actually become legit. Right now we are just a MovableType blog - that needs to change. We have a design all done up but we're waiting for it to be implemented.
-writers: We need more of you. We need as many as we can get. Sure, you don't get anything from it except comedy writing practice. Who knows? This could be your first jump into satirical news - today, The Game Rag, tomorrow, The Daily Show! Or, your college newsletter.
-community: Is it okay to want this? Maybe a forum? Or a chat room? Do any of the other VG news sites have a chat room? I changed my mind. No chat room. I'm that fickle.
-writers and readers as friends: This is a selfish item. I'm just really looking for companionship - nothing serious.
So, in summation, please read this site and tell your friends for the New Year! Father New Year would be proud!!**
*But I don't accept you.
*Step-Father New Year would be jealous, but don't worry about him - he doesn't love you (or Mother New Year)
