Welcome

Today is the start of my new blog. Ya, the blog site name (blackninjaconspiracy) is a little misconstruing, but I was running out of creativity today. It was sparked out of the pure humor I used to get while I was deployed in Iraq this past 15 months (...or should I say, fucking eternity). It seemed that in Iraq, anything that could be spray-painted on or written on legibly with a sharpie turned into an instant tagging post. The most propagated item of tagging: the porta-john. I swear to you, I've read enough stupid comments and shook my head at enough atrocious spelling and grammatical errors written from the military's finest to last me a life time.

But the most endearing comment I ever read, which is the cornerstone of this blog site's catchy name, was when I at Baghdad Int'l Airport and while taking a shit before getting on my plan to fly home for 2-week leave, I somehow stumbled on the "epiphany of all tagging". Someone had actually spent enough time (hours, judging by the work and elaboration) writing "Black Ninja Survival Tips" in a random order through-out the walls of the porta-john. I never did apply any of those rules I read that day to my lifestyle while I was in Iraq, but just in case you do, here they are a few of many:

Black Ninja Survival Tip #49: Black Ninjas NEVER travel alone
Black Ninja Survival Tip #50: Black Ninjas always travel in packs of 2 or more

...so, in short, that is the history behind the name. There probably won't be much "ninja" talk on this blog. If there is and you're lucky enough to read it, good for you. If that's what you were expecting all along, then you need to re-evaluate yourself.
