I'm plunging into the blogosphere pool...

So...I've decided to take a cue from one of my former co-workers (and lifetime friend) and open up a blog. It's not that I have too much in the way of important information to add to the global discourse...rather I want it to be a place where I can quickly:

• pen the random nonsense that springs up in my head
• vent to the world the idiocy that I witness during my travels
• share new music, food, quotes, etc. that I like
• share links to other tidbits that I see on the Internets

"Why not twitter? facebook? myspace?" you may ask.  Well, the short answer is that my patience has already run thin with all of those social networking phenomenons (I never was a twitter user BTW).  I just want a relatively calm part of the WWW that doesn't force-feed me quiz updates, score updates, farmtown, yoville...you get the idea.

As for the content or focus of this spot, that is wide open...music, sports, travel tales, drinks, maybe a little of the dreaded politics and religion...stay tuned to see. 

I do hope some of my friends from across the world decide to check into this blog every now and again, and perhaps they can help me figure out what in the world I'm doing with a blog spot now.
