Introductions

Everybody and their dog blogs.

Then why even start? Why even presume that what one person has to add to this massive clusterf*ck of opinions and linkage even matters (Hey, maybe even the blogosphere itself doesn't matter! How overwhelming!)

What I have to say doesn't 'matter' like literature or what the president has to say 'matters'. But it may just amuse, inform, or provoke someone out there, so here I go, hoping one person out there is affected.

Here I go, saying that this is worth doing, presuming that the fact that I am an educated young human in the Western Hemisphere with access to (and a near-obsessive interest in) the media and an ability to write coherently entitles me to an opinion.

Here I go into the wild, disrespected world of internet journalism.

If you agree with me that the news matters, that music matters, that science and the environment and high and low culture and politics all matter, then you are cordially invited to join me.

We're on a road to nowhwere, come take that ride.


I promise it will not be boring.
