koichi-pic1Hey everyone! Welcome to BoxTofu, a “blog for ridiculous marketing.” To be completely honest, I hate the logo, I hate the website name, and I hate everything about the branding of this site. But do you know what? If I can brand and market this garbage, then you can do the same for anything else. Anything. And i hope to help you do that.

But do you know what I hate more? I hate it when people start writing a blog post for the first time (just like this one) and pretend like people are reading it, because they most definitely are not. I imagine it takes at least ten posts to not look like a quitter before you even start, not to mention Google barely knows this blog exists (or if it does, I’m page number 4,305 no matter what search you stick in there).

So screw it with the intro! I’m going to start writing posts instead, and won’t bother with anything else for a while. If you read this, then enjoy the overly happy / surprised picture on the right. It was cold and my frail blogger’s eyes weren’t used to the outdoors (have you ever watched a puppy meet snow for the first time?).

Anyways, I’ll see you all around soon, and meet you a little bit later, I’m sure. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!
