starting out

i really don't know what possessed me into starting a blog. i'm not really the type of person to jump in the internet frenzy stuff... then again, i guess i am ever since we got DSL internet. but look, it's just yahoo! mail, friendster and now, this. but look, it's just those three. i mean i don't subscribe to newsletters of starwars, harry potter and such... Well, i have enough junk mail as it is.

yeah, my random thoughts. joy.

why did I start a blog? yeah, these are the questions you should avoid when you start one. I think it scares the readers off, (if there are any.) And besides, do they really want to know?

Ok. so what do you want to know? My (sorry, our) computer is making funny noises. Poor guy, can’t take the stress of all of us using the computer. And this strange thing keeps popping out HELLO!! “Today is my Birthday” -and a bouncing yellow highlight that says “Greet me!” from Tacshapo. I’m guessing it’s a virus. Ack. We don’t need that. And it just stays there, stuck at the middle of the screen. Ah, now it’s gone. It’ll be back later.

What was I talking about again?

Oh, if any of you are wondering about my display name, concubine, here’s the reason why. For the longest time, that word was forever stuck in my head, I have no idea why. And when we had to give any random word for my CW10 class (Creative Writing for Beginners), that was the word I gave. My classmates and prof ended up laughing at me, and wondering how in the world did that come out of my mouth? I told them I didn’t know and said, “Concubine rhymes with porcupine.” More laughs from the class. Hahaha. I guess I was thinking about a book (I’m not sure if it’s a book or movie) called “Farewell, My Concubine.” I never watched/read it so I don’t know why it made such an impression on me.

About the “cereal for breakfast” URL, it was actually supposed to be just plain “cereal” (or concubine). Why? I could hear my younger brother eating cereal, right about now. I’m not quite sure if it’s Trix or Koko Krunch. Probably the former, that’s the one we opened a while ago. “Cereal for breakfast” was longer and it sounded catchier. It sounds like an emo band though. It could also be a tagline. I eat “cereal for breakfast.” No deep meanings, no deep philosophies about the title. I’ll think though, and see if profundity about my title hits me.

That’s about it. For now.
