First Post: Very Sweet

I've been called a 'crazy nutbag' on a few occasions. I have a distinct feeling that after writing this blog for a while, I might get called that even more.

To be fair, I'm not a 'crazy nutbag' in any really negative sense. Unless you consider being a bad ventriloquist at work using a yellow stress-relief squeeze ball I've named 'Dr. Yellowhead' as my puppet or boldly proclaiming 'Who shotcha?' after a good call with a client to be negatives, I think I get called a 'crazy nutbag' in a mostly positive way. I'm an optimist, if you couldn't tell.

Anyway, I gave blogging a try once before, and I was absolutely terrible (honesty is the best policy...or whatever). I wrote political entries that were fascinating to me, but they bored the crap out of everybody else. I admit that I have a weakness for complex political analysis, but my inner Nietzschean will to power has conquered that weakness and nobly enabled my lesser instincts and traits to express themselves in public. That's a nice way of saying that I'm prepared to be a willful idiot on the Internet. Not that I'm going to be one all the time, but it's going to happen. Just wait, and you'll see.

But now, it's time to revel in my initial meaningless self-expression and new opening of myself to merciless criticism from complete strangers, if anybody decides to read this blog. Given my life in Silicon Valley, though, meaningless self-expression and merciless criticism don't seem that scary. Entry #2 is coming soon, so for the one person who knows this blog exists, keep your eyes out. Until then, this crazy nutbag is signing off.

Blogging you so hard you can't even take it,
