I'm Baaaaackkk...

Seeing as I’ve logged a gazillion hours on the internet without adding even a word to my name ever since I told myself I’d start blogging back in January, I figure now is as good a time as any to follow through. Whether I really have anything deep or “important” to tell anyone, I guess, really isn’t the point – plus who is to define what is deep or important anyway? Put simply, readers can see this one of two ways: (1) a means of maintaining some small purgative measure of sanity in the midst of chaos/the rat race/whatever one might call it (also known as the supposedly *grown up* realm of the capitalist work/spend treadmill, replete with graying temples and thickening middles) (2) on a purely selfish and very personal level, a self-tracking measure to keep myself motivated and on my toes.

To political theorists, environmentalists, poets, philosopher-poets and seekers of intellectual solace, I hope these ramblings are halfway decent fodder for spirited debate or at least good conversation. :) As far as my own purposes, it's is that this effort will help to stop likening my reclusive self to the student who says, “I’ll start writing my paper. Tomorrow.”

Another point which bears mentioning: SCREW cultivating a readership!

My goals would much more consist of such things as:
1. Making much ado about crap most people ignore or dismiss as petty (i.e., stories of our homeless, the nonsense behind the pricing and labeling of canned foods and such).
2. Exploring the world of ideas in the company of kindred minds.
3. Figuring out what it’s like to be awake!
