The Latest from the People's Republic of San Francisco

It would appear that the city-state will now be handling their own defenses: "Marines Barred From Filming Commercial on Streets of San Francisco"

SEMPER FI!

Important News Flash...

A spokesperson for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has reported that one of their clowns is now missing. He was last seen immediately following the Circus' final performance in Caracas. They fear he may have missed the train as it left the city and that he may now be wandering aimlessly around Venezuela's capitol. They ask that anyone who may know the whereabouts of this clown to relay the information to local authorities. The Circus is extremely concerned for this bozos safety and are worried that he may be delusional.

A Little Bit of Everything

Let me start by saying; I hate the word blog! You'll find that I hate most things that are new, popular, trendy, and chic. (That last word is pronounced sheek and not chick, thanks Cally) The term web log, while maybe a bit boring, describes the phenomenon efficiently enough and I see no reason to contract it into something that sounds like what I coughed up into the hopper after eating bad clams at Uncle Guido's Crab shack.

It is because of this unfortunate name that I have hesitated to jump on the band wagon (and because I really frown upon jumping on bandwagons) and start writing down some of my thoughts about life, politics, or whatever else grabs me. I can see the value in something like this. The cathartic nature of venting frustrations and making observations while hanging on tightly to this merry-go-round gone awry. (That's pronounced uh-rye and not aw-ree, thanks Mom)

You'll find a little bit of everything here as I rarely stick with an interest very long; maybe out of boredom but more than likely plain old laziness. I lack stick-to-it-ness (I am thinking of the trombone, the guitar lessons, the one day in wrestling practice, the few weeks spent as a tackling dummy for the freshman football team, etcetera, etcetera.) Oh well, it keeps it interesting.
