The (Not So) Secret Blog Society

I've finally joined the society, along with jonbaik and sanscue.  Oh, but you might say, "Isaac, aren't you a terrible, no-good, very bad, sub-par writer whose insecurity about wielding the pen (in this case the mpb keyboard) is almost as big as your ego-inflated head?"  To that question belongs a resounding YES!  <- (In case you didn't notice, that was your one and only warning about the terrible content on this blog)  To compensate for the lack of good quality writing, I was thinking about posting some pictures as well.  Since every picture is worth 1000 words, I was able to come up with this brilliant formula:


Blogger's Theorem
 - (words) + 1000 x (pictures) / [words + 1000 x (pictures)] = % of how good the blog is.  
80% or less = not worth it

But then I realized that I am as bad a photographer as I am a writer.  So, add a negative sign to the first (pictures) and there you go.  Since the forecast of this blog looks to be rainy with a high change of hail, you might ask, "Well, give me one good reason why I should continue wasting away my life reading about yours?"  To that question, I will give you 5 not-so-helpful reasons:

1 - You're probably procrastinating right now, so why not?
2 - If you (ever start || have) a blog, you'll need an example of what NOT to do
3 - I might definitely try as hard as I can to someday, hopefully post music that may or may not be original to some degree
4 - "If you were my TRUE friend, you'd [read] it" - Luke Chau, Will Chen
5 - Swoosh

On a lighter topic, since all the cool kids are giving their life philosophies about why they chose their username (and by all the cool kids, I mean Andrew), I'll give you mine.  When I was about 12 years old, my dad wanted to create an email account for me using Yahoo! Mail.  He thought he'd be clever by choosing the first two letters of my first two names (my first and middle name).  My middle name is "Yi" (meaning 1 in Chinese).  My dad's middle name should be "Superconfusingthingsupsoheadwillhurt".  Unfortunately, it is not.  THEREFORE, (Is)aac + (Yi) + Wang = isyiwang.  Call me strange, but I've actually taken a liking to the ridiculousness that is isyiwang.  Silly dad.

At any rate <- (One of my favorite sayings), here's to me trying to keep this thing alive.  Hopefully, it'll last longer than ck's beta fish did when I tried to babysit it :/.
