Back In Black



A man who claimed to be an internet marketing expert (who is actually my know-it-all- accountant former employer) once told me that the only websites and blogs in which a black background was acceptable are those that display pornography.

If that is true...feel free to commence an argument with me now. My former boss might know what's up with a shit pile of pornography sites, but even reflecting on Two Girls and a Cup does not ruin black backgrounds for me. I am not buying it.

Black backgrounds are TOTALLY sleek and particularly useful for websites as you can suck at Photoshop (or I guess Paint?) and cover up your un-skills with a plain ol' shade of black and the untrained eye will think you are AWESOME. See, I know things. Wasting away entire weekends during some very reclusive middle school years making AOL Homepages about Beanie Babies on dial up makes me knowledgeable.

Anyways, thank you for reading my first post. I hope I am not too bitchy because I unfortunately, in preparation of my impending visit to my parents' I have been dieting this week. My coworkers tell me I am cranky when not indulging in the vending machine delights of Cheetos and Twix. They are probably right. I will try to make this more consistent than my last, most recent but not too recent attempt at blogging.

So, though I feel like I don't really need your support in this whole black background decision, maybe I am still secretly hoping it offends someone out there. Thoughts?
