Just So We're Clear

I wanted to take this time to clear up some misconceptions that you might’ve gotten from reading my first few blog posts and the blog in general.

First off, I’m not a worshiper of Satan. The name for the blog, in case you didn’t figure it out, comes from the proverb ‘idle hands are the devil’s plaything.’ As a matter of fact, I’m not even an atheist. If I had to classify my religious beliefs it would be agnostic. I think there is some higher entity out there that is beyond any of our comprehensions, which is why I don’t really think about it.

Next, I don’t actually HATE anything. Life is too short to spend a second of it hating anything. But it’s just a fun word to say sometimes. Sure, we all ‘hate’ traffic but no one who has to make a long commute would choose walking over sitting in traffic. Plus, ‘5 Things I Hate’ works a lot better on a blog than ‘5 Things I Could Really Do Without.’

Finally, I’m not really as big an asshole as it seems. Shocking as it may be, I’ve been called things like “nice,” “a good guy,” and even “sweet” believe it or not. That said, I do have a short temper for stupidity, intolerance, and close-mindedness which is why my first few posts may have made me seem to be some grumpy curmudgeon that sits on his porch telling people to get off his lawn.

Now that we've cleared all that up, let's get back to business.
