So, here we go; first blog post. First step into the vast, seemingly endless field that is the weblog community. One push further into the Information Age; one more foot in Cyberspace. Off I go into the wild "blog" yonder... AAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAA! Oh, man... A-HA HA HA HA HAAA! My sides... oh, geez... classic... ah-hem... whoo... heh heh heh...

Anyway, here's a little bit about me and why I'm here: I'm a college graduate with a degree in telecommunication (i.e. TV) who decided that not only do I hate working in television, but that it was also killing me. I have since tried a few other routes, but nothing has worked out better so far. Which brings me here, sitting in front of a computer, awaiting the birth of my first child (not today; in a couple of months), and realizing that one of my life's goals has been to make a statement. Some kind of statement, somehow, somewhere.

Now I'm not dumb; I realize that the chances are small that this blog will somehow rise out of the expanses of the entire realm of Blogdom and become a global phenomenon, and I can live with that. For now I'm considering it a start.

So, why are you here? Well, odds are you either know me personally, or from somewhere else on the Internet (*cough* http://www.squidninja.com/ *cough* http://glarryg.deviantart.com/ *cough*), or perhaps someone else who does know me gave you a link. It doesn't matter. But I hope you stay because I plan to challenge you and a lot of what you probably take for granted: beliefs, ideals, and whatnot. That's the challenge I'm giving myself, because I firmly believe that we-- humanity-- deserve better than what we've made for ourselves. The problem is that, collectively, we're too stupid to go after it.
