Third time's a charm.

So, here we--here I am--again, trying again to create a successful blog. This is my third try, I believe. Attempt #1, titled "The Blog" (I know, I know) was a hit that missed when it came to slapstick humor and current events. Attempt #2, called "Salad on Top", flowered at times, but was too much a smattering of my cluttered-with-inside-jokes brain. So here's Attempt #3--"BarberPoleFactory." The title being an homage to "30 Rock" (I'll try to leave the media references at that), I plan for this blog to be a success. In this blog, I will finally try to put into words the various snapshots of the day, during which I think, "Hey, it would be cool to write about that." I want to break your heart; I want you to roll on the floor laughing. I want to prove to myself that I can write something that will make a difference. That being said, prepare yourself for mostly nonfiction accounts of the day sprinkled with satire and snark, with the occasional poem or short story. I hope this works--I'm glad my friend WaterCress (I think everyone I mention here will go by a pseudonym) is here to help me. First follower, ahoy! You'll be hearing a lot about WaterCress in the near future, I do pray. I know that my username is 123456789 (very original), but I think I'll deem myself "NotQuiteTonks" from here on in. I love Harry Potter and I am a Ravenclaw. This you must know before you delve into this collection of whimsy. Blog. That's what I meant. Blog. So...let's blog.
