Resolutions, Introductions, Stereotypes, Etc...

Hurray for 2007! Here are a few of my New Year resolutions that I will try to sustain over this new year.

• Write in this blog at least 3 times per week
• Learn more about CSS (how to write it, use it, etc...) and other useful skills to aid in creation of Web 2.0
• Make good impressions to people I have yet to meet, and people I presently know
• Become famous (not probable, but worth a shot)
• Write a fictional novel
• Exercise once a day in my spare time

I hope that by following these self-created "laws," I will become a more reliable and organized person.

OK enough of that.

Welcome to The K Blog. Where I show my stuff and make you like it. JK! I know first impressions are very important, but I'm a complex mix of the organized, the (ahem) "not-so-well-mannered," and the crazy. I can only be one of those at once.

Here's the deal: I love using computers. My life is full of computer games, web sites, Microsoft Office apps, image editors, and the like. I just get things done with technology. It's how I work. So now I've made a blog. I think Blogger is really useful.

So now that I've finished me introductions, let me start off my first post with something hazardous to one's health incredibly important.

I'm not what you would call "a geek." One of my friends once told me that the difference between nerds and geeks is that nerds can't dance; geeks can. Well, I can dance. But so what? A lot of people can dance. A lot of people dance badly too. But that still doesn't mean I'm a geek. I know what you're thinking. "But Kyle, you're crazy about technology. You just have to be a geek." No I don't. Many don't think about realizing that stereotypes are completely made up by people that think this guy's weird or that girl over there can't do this or that or whatever. Prejudice has been a problem since the beginning of time. I try to imagine what the world would be like without it.

But it's then I realize that stereotypes can be useful, just as long as one's reputation corresponds with their stereotype, and also as long as when you imagine if the stereotype doesn't exist, there will be a heck of a lotta danger. Like "This bad guy should be thrown in jail because he was desperate in getting revenge over the entire state of Arkansas." Not "This guy's bad, but what the heck, let's let him off with a warning." The next day, everyone living in the state of Arkansas will have evacuated to Mississippi and Oklahoma. It all makes sense. Ponder this: Just because you call me a geek doesn't make me a geek. Calling an orange a banana doesn't make that orange a banana. Calling George Washington a lamp doesn't make him a lamp, and if it does, then our country would be pretty messed up. It may be too late.

Besides talking about moral issues, I'll show you my work, my ideas, and my interesting life. And be sure to keep checking back soon! The next post will have everything about weekly events and other interesting stuff for you.
