Inaugural post. Same old content, brand new look and location.  For some reason this was very important for me to accomplish.

I haven’t written for a few months now, and I thought it was due to the lack of a new blog to post upon.  However, here I am with a brand new blog and yet, at the moment, I still have little to say.

I’m here at work on the 5th of May.  This day meant very little to me until I bought Liz Phair’s Whip-Smart on cassette at the local record store a little over a decade ago.  Upon purchase and a few obsessive listens “Cinco de Mayo” became important to me because it was the name of one of the catchiest tunes on side two.  I hate to admit that it took a few years after that for me to realize that it was also a holiday for some.

I am amazed at how sheltered I was from the world outside of the small, rural, midwestern community I grew up in. If it didn’t occur to the white folks surrounding me, then I wasn’t told about it.

Luckily times have changed.  Now with the internet, all the youngsters who can get to a branch of a public library can process the world through the internet as well as any other kid in any diverse urban community around the world.  It’s all here.

I think that is why my own DIY home on the internet was so important for me to create.  I have so many things inside I’d like share.  Do you?
