First Post! Live at Five! Vive La Revolution!

Well well my dear reader, when last we met (um, have we ever met before? Nah, somehow I didn’t think so), I was wandering over that mountaintop eating Chicklets and Chock Full o’ Nuts coffee beans and downing it with caffeine-enhanced raspberry juice (no connection to the mountaintop Web site) as you were attempting to slip on a pair of Nike sneakers while already wearing a pair of G.H. Bass hiking boots. Needless to say (yet I say it) I told you what a fool you must be, then immediately began choking on a bean. Thanks to you (and those boots!), I’m alive right now and mulching for an Antarctic gardening club. So to hell with the need for intelligence, yoga swamis, and tranformational grammar.

But I digress.

I really wanted to mention that my journal, Weblog, blog, whatever you want to call it, is up and running. Again, something that really needed no saying. If anything I’m good at blurting out the obvious. Talent comes naturally to me… But keep in mind this not just any online journal you’ve come across where you’ll discover me chattering on about current life travails or linking to what I just stumbled across on the Net. Plenty of those to go around for centuries; and besides, my brain doesn’t work in diary mode. Instead it’s an experiment of sorts — my gods yes another one!

Blurried Musings is an attempt at an article a day (barring interventions from technical glitches and real life), it’s purpose a place for me to pump out of my head and hands and computer, something, anything of a creative nature for at least as long as my psyche holds out, and probably a good deal past that. Like a whacked-out New York City cab driver I’ll be weaving in and out and pretty much everywhere across the road. No signage here, my friend. Things will get blurry, and often the subject matter shall take on the appearance of musings, but I’m spreading my bets wide to cover all the horses in this race. And humor is key to Blurried Musings. From broadest to barest, the thread of a comic sensibility will run through each entry, no matter how thin.

Whether any of them are actually funny doesn’t come into it.
