The Origins

Well, it has been a few weeks since I created Blue Marlin, and now that the site is in order I feel I can share the background history of Blue Marlin. It comes on a day when I am rather bored without anything to do, rather hungry without any food in the house, and rather anxious to go somewhere when it is, of course, snowing heavily outside. Anyway, enjoy.

Blue Marlin is, first and foremost, a way of life, my way of life. Yes it started out as a video game created by Hot-B destined to be released for NES and never again revisited, but to me it was much more than my favorite game of all time. Blue Marlin has slowly become my outlook on life. A blue marlin as you all know, is a great billfish whose natural environment is the deep blue sea. The deep blue sea, an endless ocean with endless freedom. The blue marlin has no responsibilities in its habitat, it is simply free. Free to do what it chooses without the necessity, the obligation of being forced to do something else. It has been my mission to be more like the blue marlin, a creature of the depths of the ocean with a freedom beyond limits. Not to mention, the blue marlin just looks bad ass.

I strive to maintain a sense of freedom that nobody can touch. The ability to do as I please without consequence. This may sound very self-centered, but I can assure you that most of the time what makes me happy is to make other people happy. I was raised that way. So I will lay down what I am doing to help someone, but not because they are making me, because I choose to. I want to know that I have the power to control my own destiny, to some extent, to choose my own path, and to make my own decisions based on what I think to be "right" and "wrong." That is my philosophy- my Blue Marlin.

Now that I have shared the sentimental value behind Blue Marlin, I must encourage all of you to go out and try Blue Marlin. I'm sure you can find it on ebay or at a store for no more than $5. And if you don't have NES, I am willing to bet you can find that somewhere for an extra 10 bucks. So go ahead, spend $15 and feel the sensation.

Lastly, I will also inform you of my mission with this blog. It is not merely for comedy or entertainment purposes, but in fact a place of learning you will come to embrace. Therefore, I will make random posts intended to make you a better, well-rounded individual. Also each blog will have a fact of the day/week/blog intermission time with the same objective. And, of course, these posts will be fish related.
