Descent to machines?

I have carried on many a long and wonderful conversation regarding man's path toward machinehood and have entertained numerous fears thereof. But, on a less abstract and philosophical note, those captchas!! Perhaps this experience is limited to only me, but I could swear that captchas are becoming more and more difficult to read these days. I sometimes find myself typing the incorrect captcha once, or even twice, before finally succeeding. I feel...diminished...less human. Are we becoming machines or are captchas just becoming too damn hard to read!? (All of you complained last time, so I decided to make it shorter. No, that's not what she said.)

The Commencement of a New Hobby...A Forray Into the Art and Craft of Blogging...My First Blog?

As you have no doubt already gathered from the quality level (or lack thereof) demonstrated in the title of this blog, I find myself greatly fatigued and in a state of mental lethargy, a conditition that I blame in large part on the (relative) lateness of the hour. Nevertheless, after a heated internal debate, I managed to convince myself (a time-consuming process requiring considerable effort and energy) that I must at some point decide to "kick off" my blogging career, so to speak. Because of recent and current events, I have refrained from posting on my blog since its creation and have instead opted to allocate my little free time to other (not necessarily any more productive) activities. I bet you won't read this. How do I get into college? However, I finally decided that I must start at some point and that this particular night lacked no significant qualities enjoyed by others for this beginning.
This post constitutes my first real blogging experience and, as such, I remain ignorant of the many wisdoms no doubt contained in this form of communication. I must therefore rely on the rest of the responsible blogging community to guide me through the preliminary steps. I assume, despite the claim to the contrary made by one of you, that you do not take pleasure in reading long and verbose rants on topics for which you care not. However, nor do I believe that you wish to dedicate your time to the examination of boring blogs with little content (I hope that this post does not qualify as one). Seeing as only the need to make some use of my blog motivated me to write this post, I find myself with little of substance left to say. Let me know what you think!
