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.
