Foppotee

There’s a lot of pressure when starting a new blog. It’s a chance to wipe the slate clean, to reveal yourself in new and different ways. You’re allowed to establish afresh how you want to portray yourself, and (perhaps more importantly to some) how you wish others to perceive you.

Pretty heavy stuff to consider, eh? Especially when there are so many choices to pick from… should I go with the open source fanatic? (p.s. WordPress is open source.) Or the zany sarcastic one-line master? The deep and insightful erudite introvert? The confident confidant? None of the above? Verily I say to thee, there are as many facets to one’s personality as there are colors of the wind.

In the end, I’ve settled for what best describes me: a mere foppotee telling a simple tale. But in the end, aren’t we all?

Quote of the Entry (QOTE): “foppotee – n, 1663-1663. Simpleton. What a pitiful foppotee he was, always oblivious to our jeers!”
