first post.....aka 'the danger zone for bloggers'

Okay, i am now bravely setting out to navigate the choppy waters of what is known as 'the blogger's first post'. Scary, eh? Well, there are many pitfalls. some bloggers fall into whirlpools of 'i cant think of anything to write' and are never heard from again, while others manage to bang out a cliche-ridden diatribe while sitting in an internet cafe eating gooey muffins and sipping bitter coffee. I, however, will try (for the sake of the world wide web) to write an actually interesting first post. So....put down your lame lattes and bland baked goods and read this first post.
Speaking of cliches, has anyone ever seen the classic 'you don't need to say anything' scene? This appears really often in lameass mass-marketed teen movies. Here's how it goes down: two characters (male and female) are sitting in a place that either A) induces some emotion or B) brings back childhood memories. Naturally, they are all alone. they are obviously in love, yet too modest/shy/reserved/doubtful to reveal it. Character A (usually the woman) says something along the lines of 'well, this place is so beautiful/you're so nice/you just told me you love me, and now i don't know what to say' and character B (usually the man) says 'well, sometimes you don't have to say anything.' Cue hot and heavy making out. 
Well, the Chalk Box Heros aims to create a break from all this clichedness (yes, that is a new word) by pulling totally unexpected art-pranks on the (anything-but) sleepy tourist town where we are based, discussing art in all its forms online, talking about our large, polytalented, and Prozac-taking family, and generally lampooning commercialism and commercials in general. More posts to arrive EXTREMELY soon....now will someone please get me a pin so i can pop my overblown ego?
