MMMM

So, I've been watching several of my friends’ blogs and they have inspired me to attempt a daily routine of documenting some of my thoughts. I've been impressed by some of the clever names people give their blogs, and I knew I had to come up with something clever as well.

Problem: I don't consider myself to be very creative. In fact, I'm a numbers guy and do better with the constancy of numbers. (You only have to count to 10 as an accountant, you know.) Not necessarily part of the standard creative mind.

Solution: When I was a kid in high school, I published a monthly newsletter that I sent to all my friends as a way of keeping in touch (this was way before the advent of e-mail.) One of my friends came up with the name Mischievous Maurer's Miscellaneous Misquotes as the title of this weak attempt at communication. As I contemplated the name of this small space of internet real estate, I thought the title would fit here as well.

Finally, I decided to create a blog category called MMMM for the completely random and uncatagorizeable drivel I will spill on these pages; very miscellaneous, slightly mischievous, and largely misquotable.

So, I've succeeded in a couple of things today. I've created another entry into the public online diary that is my blog. I've been ever so slightly creative by giving homage to a historical burst of creativity (unfortunately not mine). And I've given myself yet one more opportunity to elaborate effusively on inconsequential topics.

Boy, isn't that a hook to keep you coming back for more!
