Welcome! Thanks for reading my blog! If I had any web-based door prizes I would give you one as a token of my grand-opening appreciation. Granted, this isn't my first blog, I have another blog on myspace.com, but I wanted a new outlet, a place where I can explore my ideas and thoughts without the half-naked women from the Tru Love e-dating ad popping up everywhere. Some say that they are the best part of that site, I just find it distracting. Anyway, as an introduction, let me explain what I hope will come of this blog. This is the place where I plan to fan the flames of the burning questions of my mind, the smoldering trick birthday candles of the cerebrum that suddenly explode with only a crackling sound to warn you that something crazy is about to occur between your neurons. Sometimes this craziness with be admitidly mundane, such as musings on the effects of altitude on flatulence (coming soon). Other times it will be fairly spiritual as I try to unravel what my relationship to God and the world is. Finally, I sincerely hope that my life in west philadelphia will continue to provide me with really cool stories to tell. So here's to the internet and the endless possibilities for self-expression journies. Bon voyage!
