If I Were a Book

“Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word “paradox” for millions of people.”

Bad English #1

Isn’t the term, “first priority” redundant? Actually, it's what is called  pleonasm.

"...a term used in Literature and English Grammar classes. It is derived from the Greek word “pleon” meaning “excessive or abundant.”

Pleonasms are the opposites, or antonyms, of oxymora which are contradicting terms used together. Although easily confused and mixed-up with oxymora, pleonasm is redundant phrasing. Common examples of pleonasms in writing include: burning fire, cash money, end result, all together, and  invited guests."

Maiden Entry

On my old site I kept a blog of sorts, although it wasn’t interactive. Here, I’ve finally created a real weblog. Getting started all over again won’t be easy, but I’ll try to make an entry at least once a week. Sometimes it will be more frequent since everything has to do with my mood and free time. As on my past site, what I’m currently up to will be listed. This is my first entry… Eh. It’ll get better. I’m presently digesting a Chef-Boy-R-Dee lunch.
