In any work of fiction or nonfiction, this would be called the introduction. Now I'm not one for introduction nor do I like to hear yours, that's why I'm sitting behind my computer screen and you yours. If I wanted to hear your opinions on a subject matter I would ask; I don't want to hear how you think that, "The oil spill in the Gulf is a result of American entrepreneurialship at its finest." and I don't want to read your blog nor do I care how many friends you have on facebook. Also in any literary piece I would be the Protagonist and you would be the Antagonist. Even though you may not like the way I act, it sucks, because you're stuck with me. Your job as the antagonist is to sit there and read this, critiquing every word I write and I being the protagonist, I can either sit here and take it, or I can take some action and just delete this entire entry which just created some weird paradox in which by writing this line I end up not deleting anything and making a parallel universe in which maybe I did delete it and then everything would be fine but I didn't so now there's this long, drawn out sentence on the internet for everyone to read eventhough no one probably will.
