I'm Baaaaaaack...!

Well, hello there!  For those of you who followed my previous blog, you know that it's been a few months since I've been active in the blogosphere.  Basically, life had gotten pretty crazy, it was sucking hours upon hours out of every day, and I found myself going nowhere with it.  In all fairness to myself, I do believe I was providing a beneficial service to regular readers by relating the goings-on of the current day political scene...but it seems that most people only really care about that sort of thing when the big big BIG news happens.  Otherwise, the general feeling on politics ranges from outright loathing to something approximating "meh".  When the readership seemed to peak few months, it became apparent that a professional career in political blogging simply wasn't in the cards for me, and all these things added up to a pretty obvious conclusion that it was time to end it.

However, I find that my need to express myself hasn't diminished...I guess I just can't keep my mental mouth shut!  So here I am, back with an all new blog.  It's going to take me some time to get things set up with links and such, so be patient with me as I develop the overall look and feel over the next few weeks.  I'm sure I'll recycle parts of the old blog, but this one is going to be something different.

I've had several people mention to me how they'll miss the political updates that I used to give them.  I still follow politics daily and believe it has a drastic effect on our daily lives, so I still plan to post on political goings-on.  But, rather than have a pure political blog with *ahem* numerous posts per day, I'm going to try to look at bigger picture trends and commentary, with only one or two posts a week to try to sum up what's been going on.  Hopefully that'll provide the basics of what people feel they need to know without getting so voluminous that it's annoying as heck to try to delve into.  Also, I'd like to post on other non-political stuff when the notion grabs me, too.  At this moment, I guess I envision this blog being a giant amalgamation of stuff I'm interested in, the sum total of which will be both fun and informative.  I hope you will find it so!

Thanks for being here...enjoy!
