Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog

Has anyone ever read one of those stories that has a sad ending before? You know, the bad guy wins, or the girl ends up with the wrong guy? You know, the ones that work out a little closer to real life.
I have a new respect for stories in which the people get what they want, and not what they need. Joss Whedon's Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, for instance. (Okay, I'm a bit of a sci-fi fanboy.) I'm probably not ruining anything by telling you that the main character is a super-villain, (well, maybe not "super") and in the end, he gets what he wanted, mostly.
There are also the stories where you see the characters get not what they want, but what they deserve. That's not nearly as true to life, but it seems more comforting, knowing that good always conquers evil and such. I happen to be a firm believer that good will finally conquer evil in the end, but we know that evil is going to win a few battles along the way.
So I prefer the stories where the decisions are made, and the characters deal with the consequences, whether they are worth it in the end or not. Because that, my friends, is the true struggle; making mistakes, and bad decisions, and then figuring out what to do after that. You might get what you want, but before you do, you probably ought to make sure it will be worth what you are giving up. And, if that realizations comes a little too late, you just might have to be willing to close that door.
So careful what you wish for... (ah, you know the rest.)

Extras

I recently read a book entitled Extras, by Scott Westerfield. The premise behind the story is a fictional city where the economy is based on fame. Those who are famous receive all of their needs and wants for free. Those who are not must work for their living. So, in order to raise fame, they post articles to their feeds (or blogs), in order to receive pings (or hits) to raise their fame.

Anyway, long story short, I am apparently attempting to become famous by creating a blog so amazing you must all read it, so that people will give me stuff for free. What you can learn from modern literature, huh?

In all actuality, starting a "blog" has been something I have avoided for quite sometime, and not just for my terrible typing skills. (If you don't believe me, just ask my wife. Without her editing, this would be difficult to read, trust me.) But since I've apparently caved to peer pressure, lets set some ground rules. (Seriously, I misspell at least one word per sentence, including this one!)

No overly emotional posts. (I miss my girlfriend so much ....)
No cutesy or sensational pictures. (Unless that particular "lol-cat" is really funny ...)
No promises of how often I will post, as I refuse to (admittedly) spend all day online.
And whatever else that has always bugged me about blogging, which will come to me later, I'm sure.

So, there you have it. By the way, if anyone wants to try to interpret the title of this blog for me, feel free. Not only will you be wrong, but I will appreciate your insights (or something).

P.S. My inspiration for this post is a combination of Strong Bad E-mails and Dogbert's Ruling Class, so reader beware.
