Hello, It's Me

I have to say, this blogging thing is a hell of a lot of fun. While I have lofty dreams of it as a wonderful outlet for self-expression, a home for my insights and the occasional catharsis, I am not deluded in the least in its appeal on a totally narcissistic level.

• one-way conversation
  
• no need to justify any thought or opinion
• ability to re-read "important" posts and self-congratulate on cleverness
• practice for the "real" writing that is yet to come...I hope

All right, I think I have let this thing incubate long enough. Time to make an introduction. Blog, world; world, blog. Talk amongst yourselves.
