in the beginning...

Hello and welcome to my new blog. I figured there weren't enough blogs in the world already and that my voice was different and unique and thus must be shared with the world. So here I am, another voice in the cacophony.

Seriously, I started blogging long ago and then got a little burned out and gave up. Back then there weren't nearly as many blogs nor as many blog readers. Stylistically, many others had done what I was doing and content-wise they were as good or better. Thus my poor old blog died a sad and lonely death. Not one of my dozen regular readers complained when I put it out of its misery.

So why should you read my new blog? Well, after a 3+ year hiatus and now with some limited anonymity I am full of piss and vinegar (note to fellow-bloggers, it is so much easier to write anonymously - try it and you will discover the subtle self-censorship of your previous words). I imagine I will be more entertaining, stylistically and content-wise. No holds barred, no punches pulled. It's all eye-gouges, kidney-punches, and nut-crushing-ball-squeezes from here on out.

Now, assuming you are a new reader and have not read any other posts (since there are none yet) you are probably wondering (assuming you have read this far) what the fuck this blog is about. Well, I don't really know yet. I imagine it will be a lot of pissed off ranting and raving about politics and culture, broadly defined. If that is your cup of tea then you have come to the right place. If it isn't then fuck off and die; anyone who doesn't care about politics and culture doesn't care about the future of the world and is a worthless human being.
