'twas the day after Christmas, and I have decided to add to my blog.

At this point I think it is only necessary I give some explanation of the choice of the url "thesod". Many of you might think "sod" is not a very flattering name. But that is because you are a myopic fool, who sees no further than the surface, and never looks deeper.
One must understand a name usually says so much more than you first realise when you pick it, or read it. They usually give a deep insight into the person who picks the name, and can also give in an insight into those that read it, by their understanding.

Well firstly, if you knew me as a religion chat regular on yahoo, you would know my name is "the_sword_over_damocles" this name in itself has a lot to say about me, although I dont think I had realised quite so much when I at first chose it. I just thought it sounded cool.

If you knew me a little better, you would know people sometimes call me "sword". And by simply removing the letters "w" and "r" we have "sod". As we all know "w" and "r" stand for "write" and "read" in the high tech world we are now all (whether we like it or not) a part of. Since my name can only be associated with what I write, and what you read. It has something to say, I am sure.

Now, if you knew me even better, you would know that I am half Irish (living in Ireland! *singing* "Ar nduthaigh bhreagh i seilbh meirleach, Diolta leis na Gailaibh."). And my fathers father used to work out on the bogs (no not blogs..ha ha ha *contrived laugh*) cutting the sod, so that we could burn it for energy. Since we had no money or tools, they had to use their very own teeth, to reef and pull at the deep running roots. You could say, my fore fathers where to blame for the beginning of the energy crisis, as they tore the decaying life from the earth, so that we could consume its energy for our own well being, we now suck from much deeper veins of life. They began a chain reaction in the human psyche, which has led to the now looming war in Iraq! Stick that in your pipe, begare begosh!.

Anyway, that is all I have to say about the choice of that name for today, there are many more truths to it that I have yet to divulge.

Welcome one and all, to what may be my very first blog. Now, dear reader (yes, I am bold enough to assume that you are reading this), I know, like the blood sucking vultures that you are, you are expecting me to provide you with some amusement. Why else would you be reading this? Well, "how selfish of you!" is all I can say to that. I have no idea how to amuse you, so I will amuse myself.
I begin with a short story:

Once there was a man, nay a good man. He was so good, that he lived his life and no one noticed.
The End.

That is what I call a "tragedy". I am sure there is a moral in there somewhere. I have many more delightful little tales, just like that, and I may tell them....but then again, I may not!.

Have a "good" day...mu ha ha ha ha ha.
