And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done and defecated creating this blog

  The goal of this blog is to improve my writing skills while widening my vocabulary.  My name is Mike Powell and I have failed at almost everything I have ever attempted.  Here are just a few of my main failures:

• Failed to make the High School soccer team.
• Failed T shirt selling business from a website I invested years of my time into and thousands of dollars.  Not one shirt sold.
• Failed to learn Spanish
• Failed to really understand what Calculus is used for, even after passing Cal 1,2 and 3 at university.
• Buying a ~$300 dollar 1080i computer display only to find out the graphic card located in my computers chassis is unable to support the monitor's dimensions.
• Unable to find a job after graduating from University, now living in parents basement.
• Girlfriend broke up with me after a seven year relationship, I am still not sure why but I am sure it has something to do with me failing in some aspect of my life.
• Unable to grow facial hair
• Unable to spell any English words except the most basic and fundamental of words.  The only reason words seem to be spelled correctly in the blog is because of spell check.

Those are just a few off the top of my head.  I have succeeded in some things though:

• Investing time and money at my city's Casino, compulsively gambling away any few scraps of money I happen to accumulate. 
• Over one hundred edits on wikipedia.org
• Creating vast sums of student education driven debt.
• Lying to everyone that has the misfortune to come into any sort of pathetic dialogue with me.  Mostly in a thinly veiled attempt to hide or mitigate my lack of successes.
• Able to drink large quantities of ethyl alcohol
• Great ability to masturbate to ever increasing amounts of taboo porn.

 I would like to elaborate on the last bullet.  Alcohol is really a poor drug to use for any sort of recreational activity. 

• It taste's resembles rocket fuel and is harsh on the taste buds and throat.  Even beer tastes like shit.  Many of the beer drinkers say beer is acquired taste.  "Acquired taste" is a youthinism for it tastes good once you become an alcoholic.
• It is a major diuretic, which means it increases the frequency of urination.  Unlike herion or marijuana where you can dose on it and then just relax on the couch for hours, Alcohol forces you to empty your bladder every 20 minuets.  Getting up to use the bathroom this often is very annoying
• Significantly decreases ability to maintain an erection.  This is a serious problem.  Not that I have sex any more or will be having sex any time in the next couple of years.
• Dehydration.  This is related to alcohol being a major diuretic and I assume one of the driving forces behind a hangover the next day.

Alcohol is cheap and the high is enjoyable but for the above reasons I will be sticking to marijuana for the near future for my recreational drug of choice.

Okay back to cannon rushing in Starcraft II
