Repent Harlequin!

To introduce myself I will say this: I am the blogger who will be calling himself The Harlequin for the purposes of this specific blog. This name is a reference to the short story “‘Repent Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktock Man” though it is not mean to hold all that much significance. I chose the name more or less at random when daydreaming about starting a blog.

Further, to explain my earlier comment about having a low opinion blogs I should say that it is more accurate to say that I have a low opinion of the majority of bloggers, or at least the ones that fall into my demographic. It’s nothing personal really, it just annoys me on a certain level that there are so many angsty teenagers out there who seem to expect the world to care about their thoughts. Then again I suppose that I expect some people to care about my blog, so I can’t be too hateful without feeling like a hypocrit.

Thirdly, I still indend to post on a regular basis “once I get going” but at this point I’m feeling a little swamped by graduation-related work right now. I suppose I should ammend my first post to say “a little too much going on in his head” as opposed to “a little too much time on his hands” but I think people will understand that it was just a metaphor anyway.

Hello,

I’m going to keep this short because I don’t have much to say right now. I’m not anyone of much importance, just a highschool senior with a little too much time on his hands, but I’ve decided I feel like sharing my opinions with everyone who bothers to read them.

I used to have a rather low opinion of blogs, and I suppose I still do, but I have a lot of things to say and no one at hand to say them to. Mainly I am going to blog here about politics, but I may occasionally post something related to computers/IT or something equally off-topic. Ideally I will post on a pretty regular basis once I get going, but I’m not making any promises.
