The Ramblings of Ali -- Now Available in Blog-form!

It's official.

After doing a whole should-I/shouldn't-I for quite some time, here it is -- a blog. And the savings go directly to you! With this nifty device, there will no longer be a need for mass e-mails of epic proportions. Wonderful news for both you and your inbox.

What follows is an analogy, but bear with me because, true to Ali-form, it may get a little convoluted.
For those of you who don't know (and how could you not?), it is possible to purchase yogurt in Mr. Freeze-like plastic receptacles. Tubes, if you will. In fact, the only brand that I'm familiar with -- not due to actual consumption, but I've been around a grocery store -- is indeed called Tubes. And not Yog-Eeze, the branding I came up with. Think about it: Yog-Eeze. It's really quite smart. Ask me sometime about the marketing campaign that goes with it. I should probably consider changing my line of work...

See? See what I was talking about? Even I'm lost after that digression. Where was I going with this... oh yes, Yog-Eeze. Tubes. Whatever.

So the blog is to mass e-mails of epic proportions as Tubes(ugh) is to yogurt. You're still getting the same stuff, but the convenience of the packaging is unparalleled. Who has time for a spoon? I need that yogurt now! Instead of sitting down, opening your inbox and scrolling through paragraphs upon paragraphs ('cause let's be honest, brevity is not my strong suit), you click on the blog at your leisure and it's all right there waiting for you. And you can read as much or as little as you like. All in one sitting or save some for later.
Wait. Oh man, that doesn't fit with the Yog-Eeze analogy at all! Unless... unless they start packaging them with a little Ziploc-esque sealing feature. Are you listening, Yoplait?! I want dues for that gem. Well, you get the idea.

That's the intro, babies. Hope you stop by from time to time.
There will be more -- oh, so much more! -- to come.
