America On-line



God. I remember when I was five, all we had was AOL. There was probably more but AOL is what we used. Aol and Dial-up. Damn, we even used their shitty browser too. I had to have a kid account, which wouldn't let me watch Youtube videos when I was 10. My email address was something unrecognizable by anyone. I didn't even bother to remember it. God damn those days sucked. I rather go home and watch Reba then look up anything on the internet.

Then, one summer, when I wanted to look up this one video that all the kids in school where talking about, and after hours of AOL frustration, I asked my mother "Mom, what is this Internet Explorer thing?"
"Oh, just the same thing as AOl but worse."

As I clicked that shortcut I was freed. I no longer was restricted by my kid aol account. After a year of browsing Anonymously, I got my Yahoo account and began trollin' up flickr. I soon spread to Youtube and the Turboj forums, and then on rockraidersunited. I soon became a blogger, and am now know on the internet as "TheEPICtrainrider" or just "TheTrainRider" in places where I rather not get trolled and the people aren't so nice.


I still remember the days when my reach was locked in by a block and a @aol.com. But now I look back and wonder if I could have gotten onto the internet sooner, and would it have made a difference. Would I have met the same people? I don't know, or care. All I care is that I can now run fire-fox with ad-block and have an actual internet and that you peoples who read my blog read my blog. So I ask you, what was your first browser/email?

And think of all the Aol free-trail disks sitting in land-fills all over the world. Those babies are gonna laaassssssstttttt.

Revolution (and Free Portal Link)


http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/
(Good until May 24th)

But other then Valve being Epic, I have a Xkcd comic for you to check out over there. This Comic will be what we will follow from this point on.
I want to build a relation ship with you guys. No really. NO! Really.
But before I can build a relationship, I need a better community that I can have a relationship with. And the key to that is having content people will want to read. The issue is, all the content people want to read is bull crap to me, so we need to create something better... something that will make links be posted from the Blogosphere to the deep, cluttered servers of private websites. We need people to be chatting about us (in a good way) on 4chan. We want Links in the description on Youtube, profiles mentioning us, we want groupies, facekbookers, tweeters, myspacers, bloggers, cartoonists, black, white, Asian, from Americans to Canadians, Europeans to Indians EVERYONE. We want the gamers to say "Hey man, check this epic blog" while recording their walkthroughs. We want the tangled jungles of the forums to have topics about us! We can, nay... WILL be the better blog of tomorrow. Today!
Today yes Today! This is the beginning, of a revolution. Today is the day, where we being the fight to make asuperepicblog the best damn blog on the internet. We were once a blog with me talking about a power-outage in my neighborhood, but we will become a blog that thousands, millions, even BILLIONS of people will look at. The entire internet will be reading the words that flow from my keyboard. There is only one problem... What to write about?
Everyone has different tastes, but what is one thing that everyone will like to read? This, my loyal followers, is the only thing in our way. So post a comment, and change the blogs of tomorrow.
