Remember two years ago when it seemed like everyone was starting a blog, and goddammit, you were going to start one too? Remember how satisfying it was to be able to post your most inimate thoughts and/or daily routines for tens upon tens of readers each and every week? Then remember how as time passed the pressure mounted and you quit posting and then with every day that would pass the desire and the ability to post would become increasinly dire? Remember when you didn't have an actual job and could write about whatever the fuck you wanted never having to fear the wrath of a sit-down in HR? If you remember any of this, then the
What is Recoil blog just what the doctor ordered.
Here's how it's going to go down:
You may remember me. My name is Rick. For over 3 years I wrote about absolutely nothing of interest on the incredibly popular website "
MagneticMediaFed. People LOVED it. People who I went to high school with, people I once worked with, other people-- EVERYONE. Well, that site no longer exists, or at the very least isn't going to be updated any longer. Instead I'll be writing here. Really, you won't notice much of a difference except that this site has a groovy "form feed printer/office supply" feel to it, and one other thing: you'll be able to post as well. Why comment in a separate pop-up when you can let your feelings be heard right out in the open!? And let's not just limit things to responses to posts, go wild. Have an interesting link? Post it. Feel the need to inform the masses about an event? Post it. Want to try to convince people that the Spanish-American War was more important than World War 1? Post it. This is officially the people's blog.
Here's the only catch: you need a login. To get one, send an
email to me with a subject line reading "RECOIL BLOG NEEDS ME!" I'll send you an invite within 24 hours. BAM! You're set.
I know what you're thinking. "RICK! What if no one posts but you? Then isn't it just MagneticMediaFed with a different URL?" The answer to that question is "yes." But I'm okay with that. Still, let's give it a shot, shalln't* we?

"Shalln't" is not a real conjunction.
