When I was thinking about starting a blog, I had thousands of things to say.  I chose my domain name after careful consideration of what I intended to write about.  I had quite a few ideas of my own, but was amazed to see that friends and family members offered names that fell right in line with my ideas.  Granted some were borderline hate-mongering, but uncomfortably fitting for my stated purpose.  I made a list of possible names and then did a search to see which were available.  I whittled away at the list for some time trying to capture the essence of my personality in a short descriptive, domain name.  Some of the possibilities were:

1. The Abrasive Thong
2. Will Bitch for Food
3. The Biting Fly
4. Malice and Forethought
5. Did I say that out loud?
6. Did you touch that? 
7. The Grass is Always Greener Over the Shallow Grave Behind the House
8. Enlarged Prostate?
9. Enraged Prostate?
10. Apathetic Genius
11. Well Aren't We Special?
12. Lubrication is Vital
13. Blow Hole
14. New Rubber Suit

    After realizing that some of the names could trigger an FBI investigation or top the list in a Google porn search, I narrowed it down to The Biting Fly.  I bought the name and set out to write a few “articles” to post when I got the blog going.  As I started writing I began to realize ranting takes hours if you do it properly.  Also, I only get on a good ranting tear about once a month (most people that know me would disagree with that statement).  Then, to put it in words and present a good case, whew, that takes forever!  It just didn’t have the flow that I was looking for.  So I decided to try a little humor.

    So, some of the things you might look forward to are 1) "Why there aren’t any people on the other side of the world", 2) "Never, Never, Never take Polaroid pictures", 3) "Sandwich spread in the glove box", 4) "It’ll ride", 5) "How to remove a fish hook", 6) "My niece has never done anything embarrassing", 7) "Tales from the yard sale"...
