"Why Don't You Ever Update the Blog?"

So you may have noticed that I'm not the best at updating this here blog. The thing is, I never really understood "blogging." I'm aware of them, sometimes I read them, but I've never had much of a desire to write one myself. Why? Because despite what you may infer from the main page, I'm a rather private person. It doesn't make any sense to me to write things about my daily life for complete strangers to read. Quite frankly, what goes on in my boring life is none of your business. I may want to run for President or Country Coroner one day, and if that happens the last thing I need is for folks to start sifting through things I wrote 20 years earlier and calling me a racist because I wrote that I preferred vanilla ice cream over chocolate.

So why do I even have a blog section? Well, mostly because when I was designing the site I realized that I didn't have a whole lot of content for it, and I figured a blog button would be a good way to eat up some space. Also, it's a good dumping ground for stuff that just doesn't fit anywhere else. My Comic-Con coverage is a good example of that - that's about an event, not my personal life. Additionally, this is a good place to give updates on what's going on with the site (the site, not my life - there's nothing going on there). But seeing as major updates to the site don't happen like clockwork, you can't expect the blog to be updated consistently, either. That's not to say I'm not good at updating other things. I update Daily Droid religiously, and I'm shooting new Shell Shows at a pretty good clip.

This site is about content, not opinions that nobody cares about. So if I were you, I'd stick mostly to Daily Droid and The Shell Show when you stop on by VforVitale. If you notice something different, come on over to the blog where I'll probably explain it. And if there's any sort of features in the blog, I'll try to let you know on the main page. On the other hand, if you want to know what my favorite color M&M is, or what my pornstar name is, well then strap yourself in to be sorely disappointed. Then head on over to any 14-year old's MySpace page, where I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

Oh, and about Top Secret - yeah I'm probably going to be replacing that with something else. That hasn't really turned into what I originally envisioned. Maybe I'll turn it into a review section for things I find at the Dollar Store. Or if you have a better idea - make your own site.
