In the beginning...

I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for some time now. I tend to lose interest in these types of things fairly quickly so I'm making my prediction now. I'm giving myself 1 month before I stop posting. If I make it past that, I'll be impressed with myself.

So I guess I should start by explaining my blog's name. It comes from Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle" (one of my top 2 books of all time). Here's a short extract from the book:

"'No wonder kids grow up crazy. A cat's cradle is nothing but a bunch of X's between somebody's hands, and little kids look and look and look at all those X's...'
'And'
'No damn cat, and no damn cradle.'"

So I think the title fits this blog well. What I'm trying to say is don't try to look for something that isn't there. Whatever I say, I'm sure it won't have any real meaning to it.

I just realized that as I write this, I'm expecting someone will read it. So silly of me.
