Let the Catalysis Begin!

Hot Damn!

I can't believe I've just become a Blogger: Nerd Factor 10, Nerd Factor 10, indeed!

But seriously folks, I've been perusing the blogosphere for so long now that I reckoned it's high time I set up a ranting platform of mine own. If all goes as planned, and my 103 year old fingers manage to clumsily click and jab their way through this weblog creationatory process, then what ye' be reading now shall stand as the inaugural post of The Catalytic Corral, cyberbox stationary for the Honourable Senator J. M. Catalyst ESQ. What a wonderful episode forsooth!

I can't tell you how gay I truly am to see the Ol' Senator finally commit to the XXIst Century. This monumental step will enable me to join the armada of voices currently dominating the Canadian political blog scene. Henceforth, I shall take it as my solemn duty to show all those whippersnappers out there that you don't have to be a gyroplasmic technician to get your point across in this pompous age of digital knowitallism. Instead, I plan to cautiously lend my voice to that heroic call of progressive political blogenda; to fight in the noble tradition of those who have come before me, and are still standing, albeit battled and bruised, but ultimately unwavering in their conviction. However, unlike most of them whose credibilities are rooted upon years of legal haranguing and political backrooming, this blog will aim to provide a more "down home" approach to political hackdom, which I hope you will find to be both refreshing, and cybernutritious.

Finally, I must, in accordance with standing custom, acknowledge all those people who have inspired me to commit to this mounting endeavour. And for the sake of thrift, I will single out just the few immediate people without whose guidance and friendship. . . First and foremost, I thank my "diamond in the sky" Lady Charlotte, whose beauty and elegance cannot be described in one sentence. Then, I would like to give an e-shout-out to my bro Dave, who showed me the way of the blogs. And also, I have to give some props to my good dogs Ryan, Steve, and Dan, who each in their own way encouraged me to do this thing, even though (as previously mentioned) I'm 103 years old. I thank you all, and I hope that at least the four of you will enjoy my scrablings throughout the lifetime of this weblog, and longafter when they're published along with my collected diatribes and correspondences to be sold for just six easy installments of $89.95 plus applicable shipping and handling.

And with that, I declare this blog so established on the ninth day in the month of May, 2005.


Million Shouts of Gratuity!
