Would you like a side of blog with that ego?

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast.

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold.

Carlos looks a guy who you would enjoy sitting down with a beer and just discussing stuff..

Okay, on to the main dish: A serving of humble pie. Mmmm!
Why bring into this world yet another blog when there are so many are already out there, neglected and alone and desparately needing food for thought? Is it because I want to 'be blogging', to experience it for myself, from conception to conclusion? Or is it because I just really love writing?

I took a look at my past blogs, and golly, folks...I didn't realize how overcome I was with English Degree uppityness -- and the worst offender of all..boredom from taking oneself too seriously! Unnnh, ! The last thing this world needs is another self-absorbed blog.

So, on that note here are a few mental sticky notes:

• I love blogs! I love reading other people's snapshot stories of life. Their life. Makes you feel more connected.
• I love to write. Writing makes me happy in some visceral, very-hard-to-explain way. I figure if I'm feeing happy, maybe I could inspire a few others to the keyboard to be happy, too. If I do, let me know!

I'll keep it simple, I promise. No long poems, no windy exhortations. Okay, maybe a long joke or two, since I'm partial to those. Mainly, it's just a place to fire up my writing neural networks before taking on the day. Who knows where it will go and how it will end up!

Thanks for coming along for the ride!
