Please be gentle, it's my first time

There are three great inventions in the history of mankind and here they are in order:

1: The Wheel
2: Sliced Bread
3: The Internet

That's it. That is the whole list, those are the greatest things mankind has done. Nothing more needs to be added to the list, I just did it, your welcome.

Before the Internet came along the 3rd spot was reserved for the plastic caps at the end of shoelaces called Aglet's, but when you have an invention that is basically 3/4 adult websites and the other 1/4 being people writing their opinions on which is better Star Wars or Star Trek, than you got to give the Internet the 3rd spot.

Well with that said I am a virgin to this blog thingy that kids are doing so much on the Internet these days. I started this to keep in touch with past friends who did not want to talk to me but maybe just want to read about me. So here is Pat's Pantheon, and for those who do not know what Pantheon is, Webster defines it as :

(noun)
1. the place of the heroes or idols of any group, individual, movement, party, etc., or the heroes or idols themselves
2.A temple dedicated to all gods

So basically this is my temple that is dedicated to your hero, me.

My blog will be a place where you can hear about how work is going at Ohio State, how I have been striking out with the ladies, and any other funny Pat Stories (again Pat Stories are those stories in which things that sound far fetch or ridiculous only happen to me). This blog is only to talk about my life, I will not get preachy on why the Garfield movie is better than The Godfather, any political stuff, basically I will not get on a soap box. I will though bring up more interesting things like, why do they call them jumping jacks? Was Jack the first one to invent this (#57 on the list) I would call them jumping "X's" makes more sense than jacks.

I will also give life lessons to you young ones out there about the real world. Pat Lesson 1: When having a phone job interview that is in different time zones, make sure you know what time, in which time zone, the phone interview takes place. So you do not miss the phone interview by an hour.

See helpful lessons.

Thank you for joining Pat's Pantheon, keep checking back for more postings and give some suggestions on how to improve my blog, I was thinking of designating a song to be read with each post so you can feel my emotion as you read it, but that could be something later down the line.

Keep on Rocking in the free world!

(thanks for being gentle with me, that was not so bad, I could get addictive to this, I bet the ultimate fantasy is posting two blogs at the same time, that would be sweet.)

Oh man, I should make a blog critiquing your blog posts, that would make me a super meta-internet user.

P.S. I would argue that fire or nuclear power should also be included on your list.

You dork.

I got a life lesson for you - razor wire is sharp.
