In the beginning(ish), there was blog

Because I'm so self-involved, and also opinionated, I've decided to start my own blog. Well, I decided to start my own blog like a year ago, but because I'm good with the ideas and not so good with the follow-through (and I couldn't settle on a good name for it), it took me a year to get around to setting one up. But here it is: The Jaded All-Czars. Why puns are so acceptable in blog titles but so shunned everywhere else, I have no idea. (But they ARE shunned; I'm looking at you, Lockner.) Now, you're probably thinking, 'it's just him, why not All-Czar?' Well, two reasons: the plural just sounded better, and I'm so self-involved, that I figured others might want to join my little blogging team. So consider this a standing invitation. Anybody who wants to be a Jaded All-Czar and opine alongside me, even infrequently, is welcome. Who knows? We might just have to make our own t-shirts. I'm even hoping to poach Stefan from Midnight Poutine.

The topics of my posts will broadly cover three areas: culture, politics and sports, often in overlapping fashion (or as I like to call it, Cajun-style). All of my previous rantings which were confined to the Faces-Book will be included, and here's a sneak preview of what I'll be going on and on about in the near future:

How the NHL can save itself from itself
What I'd do if I were governor of Michigan (with limited constraints of reality)
A write-up of my all-time favorite songs
Why Tempe, AZ sucks, or, I hate new cities
We suck: a critique of American foreign policy
Environmentalism's need for hypocrites
How American soccer can get better
And for my Montreal friends: Why I dis/agree with Quebecois separatism

All of this is right off the top of my head, and I'm sure other topics will pop up along the way. That list is also in no particular order, and of course there's no schedule, because I wouldn't keep it anyway. Hopefully having an honest-to-God blog that anyone on the Interwebs can read will get me a little more motivated. Either way, I'd be excited if I just get through that list. I think the over-under right now is five.
