Let There be Shorts

And so it begins. (for those playing at home, this section of the blog can be accompanied by the song Apocalypse Please, by Muse) What is quite possibly the most important blog of our times, my gift to all of you in internet-land. My contribution to the world of blogging. Yes I have finally graced the interweb with my presence. It feels good doesn't it? Maybe a little frightening but don't worry, that's normal, that's good. Oh, you lucky people, you. If only. If only I had me to enrich my life the way I am about to enrich yours... My blog deflowering will not be easy. Some may be injured, some may turn away in disgust, some may learn things about themselves that they didn't want to know, but all will eventually come to acknowledge the simple, awe inspiring genius that is SHORT SHORTS!

On a much less sarcastic note, Short Shorts is about, as the title hopefully suggests, short stories and short films. I, on a regular basis (the regularity of which will, at all times, subject to reevaluation) will probably post a link to a short story or film that I have found particularly interesting, exciting, or offensive accompanied by a short, but not unimportant, review of said short. I, of course, encourage my reader(s, fingers crossed) to post their own thoughts on the subject at hand. Because, although your input will be nowhere near as enlightened as mine, I am interested in hearing what the commoners have to say. With any luck I won't commit any copyright infringement, I won't receive any visits from irate lawyers and this will all be as painless as possible. So, without further ado, I give you, the one, the only Short Shorts. (applause)
