Here is the thing, this is my second take at this blog. I had to delete the previous third blog. As I explained in the rough draft of the blog, I have recently posted my blog link on my facebook page. As a result I am expecting a huge 300-400 percent jump in my blog readers (which correlates to about a total of 5 readers). Because of this huge spike in numbers I wanted to make sure that the blog was way sweet and actually worth reading; a slight variation from my previous blogs. Needless to say my first attempt was an absolute failure. I read it over and noticed my blogs' ability to repel readers. That gave me time to completely rid cyberspace of any hint that I had actually written it. What I am trying to say is that I did it, I deleted it and this is my second attempt at blogging mastery. However, as I look back at what I had intended to write I realized it wasn't really that much. My blog had two main points 1) My first point is simple. My blog page as well as my facebook page are ridiculously ugly. My facebook page looks like a art project in an elementary school. I have lots of stuff on it, but it is not organized or placed for any sort of aesthetic value. My wife calls me the facebook queen. Whether or not that is true I feel as though my pages should look better and be represented as pages suited for queens. So, please leave me some comments about either my facebook page or my blog page and inform the unoffical facebook queen how their page should look. Although if your name is Jim Ellis, don't bother. 2) My second point is simple. I wanted to give a list of things I might cover in future blogs. The hope is that the list will be so sweet that my readers will want to read blogs I post in the future. Here is the list:
- Top 10 things Mardy didn't think about when she started dating Jim Ellis.
- What I would do with a lot of money
- My job
- My top 10 funniest friends
- Why I need more hobbies
- Why Luke and I are meant to have a radio show and why anyone with a sense of purpose would want to listen to us

Second and possible last blog.
Well my experiment did not work because I have evidence that one person read my first blog. Luke put a comment on my blog.....how embarrasing. Hopefully enough time has passed where he won't read this one and I have time to advance my blogging skills. Anyway, I have a funny story. I work for a major credit card company being thier bitch and sometimes getting distracted by the shiny objects they put in front of me to take my mind off how bad my job actually sucks. Anyway, once a month we have recognition meetings. This month I got picked to do some trivia with a reward if I show them my knowledge. Well, needless to say, I got the answer right and I received my reward. I was about to be in credit card bliss if they were going to give me tickets to the "might as well be high school" amateur hockey team here in Sioux City. Anyway, that is not what I got. Instead I got two tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters. That's right, the Harlem Globetrotters. I get to watch them twirl balls and play a local Junior Varsity team. But, even though that was bad enough, they gave me tickets to them for a Monday night at 7. Problem is my hours are from 2:45 - 11:15. Are you kidding me? I won frickin tickets and I have to take work off to see guys pretend to play basketball. What a kick in the face. I wish there were a way for me to wipe those stupid grims off my managers faces when they pretended to look excited for me when I won those tickets. Maybe before I quit I will hold my own recognition meeting and give my managers a chance to win a tirp to my apartment where they can plunge my toilet after I leave a Cleveland steamer in it. Maybe I'll put that in the suggestion box they pretend to look at.
P.S. I really want to start adding pictures etc. to my blog. I don't know how. I bet my elementary aged cousin could, but I can't. But, I bet she can't win St. Patrick's Day trivia and win worthless tickets.....so I guess I have her beat there. If anyone wants to leave a comment and tell me how would be greatly appreciated. I really just don't want to try again.

First and hopefully not last blog.
Well, here I am in the electronic age writing my first blog. My friends Luke and Jim have created blogs and even though Jim's is awful, Luke's is rather funny. Needless to say I wanted a piece of that action. I created this blog a while ago however I have never had the guts to actually write my first blog. To tell the truth, I wanted to write a blog that was awesome. I wanted my debut blog to be funny, outrageous and for an editor of publishing house to see it and inform me I am going to make millions. What took me so long is I could never figure out what to write about it. If you know me, you probably know I am boring and not too creative. But, since this is my first blog no one will read it anyway, so I figured it wouldn't matter what I write about. Kind of how no one watches Carson Daly after Leno and Conan because they have had two hours to realize that other people aren't that funny and the trashy Budweiser can looked like a better time.
(Budwesier can Picture was suppose to be here. It was suppose to look trashy)
Since I spend a lot of time by myself in my apartment because of my crappy job hours, I really need things to spend my time doing. Lately, I have wanted to spend my time on the internet....but I don't know what sites to go to. Yes, I realize there are hundreds, maybe even millions of site I can go to, but I don't know where to go. When I usually log on I go to about five sites after my email. Most include sports and a couple don't. After I visit my faithful sites sometimes I sit in front of my computer for a couple minutes trying to think of sites I can visit. I usually throw my laptop across the room in disgust because I feel like I should be able to be addicted to the internet like I want to be. If anyone has ideas, you can always give me some strategies on how I can waste my time on the internet.
Well, sorry to waste your time the past five minutes you took to read my first blog. Hopefully next time it will be funny and you will want to tell your friends. Seriously, though as I read over what I wrote I realize it really was pointless...sorry about that. You should read Jim's. Maybe sometime I will jazz up my page with words and and pictues etc. But, that is only if I end up writing more and if anybody actually shows up and reads this crap.
