hello world. so, this is my new years resolution. My latest attempt to keep some sort of regular dialogue going having to do with my life/friends/world. 

Usually I start and then things get busy or I use this as some artistic jumping off point... obviously I should leave that sort of thing for... you know, real artists. 

So this will be a regular old venal blog, except that hopefully it will involve more people and be a better chronicle of what some have told me is an interesting perspective. I'm hoping this will be the clearing house for the events/experiences I want to make available to ridicule/interest/insight. I hope someone has something interesting to add at some point... 'cause jesus, i don't think anyone wants me to go on too long by myself. 

PS. also, i'll try not to be too calculating or reserved (i.e., a politician) when posting... so ya'll can keep me real. Or at least try too. You know with all this morbid obesity, I'm prone to making insensitive and selfish remarks.
