The whole concept of a blog has always creeped me out. Hell, even the word "blog" is weird. But for a long time, I've had a sick fascination with the concept of people posting their diaries online, kind of like I have a sick fascination with reality television. When you're driving past a train wreck, it's hard to look the other way.
I've resisted the urge to launch a blog of my own though, until my neighbor, Jacqueline, pointed out that doing so might drive quintillions of new visitors to my so-called "real website". So in all honesty, that's what this is really all about -- shameless self-promotion, and a nifty new way for me to procrastinate when I should be working on my book.
What can you expect here? Random thoughts that might occasionally turn into real articles, and a whole bunch of other static that doesn't really fit on davethefox.com -- news, nervous breakdowns, ranting, thinly veiled advertising for my audiobook, politics, and cheap and tawdry sex.
Well, actually, you probably won't find any cheap and tawdry sex here. I just tossed those words in because I know what you people are looking for on search engines.
Perverts!
So welcome to my brain. It's a strange place, but usually safe enough to get lost in for a short while.
No, no, no. It is obvious that you are not yet wise in the art of Google manipulation, my young padawan. You need to put the words "Cheap tawdry sex" in the TITLE of your post to get a lot of hits.
It also helps if you can get people to link to you using those words. Maybe you should rename your blog "Dave Fox's Cheap Tawdry Sex Site" so people will call you that in their blogrolls. :)

If you don't like the word "blog" you could make it a policy to always say "weblog," or "my personal rant site."
