I have been thinking of creating a blog where I can post my rants about many things that would get people pissed off at me. I can't do this on facebook, because it doesn't seem to be a site for freedom of speech anymore. Actually, I am not sure it ever was, but whenever I post something or make a comment to someone's post, people get really pissed off. So I figure I can post long winded, but hopefully not meaningless rants here and satisfy my need to vent. I am pretty sure nobody will read this blog, but that never stopped me from writing anything before.
Now, the name "I Turned the Key" which I gave my blog simply comes from a card that is next to my keyboard. If you ever go to the Titan Missile Museum in Arizona, you get to go through a simulated Titan missile launch. This is a simulated nuclear missile strike at the former Soviet Union, which would have ended up in Armageddon. When you are one of the the people in the command chairs that turn the keys for this simulated launch, you get a card that says "I TURNED THE KEY". I guess I am using the symbolism that this blog is going to end up changing the world. It is far more likely that it will symbolizing the destruction of my world. Although if I was betting I would put my money on it symbolizing the fantasy of both of those things, but the reality of it being a waste of time and resources with no real effect on anything.
Regardless of the outcome, my hope is to post a few times a week on ideas that I have or on things that piss me off. This way, I might have something to reference as proof that I actually have ideas and that maybe one or two of them are not insane. I should start meaningful posts tomorrow... I hope.
