AHHH.. That felt good

There.. I guess I'm officially a blogger.
I was inspired to create this by my old friend, "The Bone." (the_bone.blogspot.com). If you have a sec, check it out... It's really entertaining, and I will soon become a regular poster on it. He and his regular guests seem to be very insightful and intelligent, and will at the very least turn you on to some great music. And I believe it to be clown porn free!.... always a plus.
I figure I should start by saying who I am, what my expectations are and, most of all, what I don't wish this to become.
List (I love lists, but this one is going to be kind of boring... It must be said, though)

-I don't expect to post very often, so consequently, I have no delusions of becoming the next Jimi Hendrix of the online community. I mainly set this up to:
a) Create a viable profile for my contributions to "the_bone" and
b). to provide a kind of homing beacon to those who might wish to track me down (for good, not evil... mmm'kay?). If you're one of those, please email me directly... I'm sure I'd love to hear from you!

-I am not a raging politico, but I will offer my opinion once in awhile. I do lean (and sometimes fall, as we often do) to the left. I do however, respect differing points of view, and truly believe that it does take both a left and a right wing to fly. If you do wish to oppose my POV, please do so respectfully, and I'll do my best to do the same. Dig?

- I'm no prude, but please keep the really nasty stuff (i.e. hardcore porn and gore) away. Feel free to curse, but please do so in proper context. Also, please refrain from on-line dating type stuff... I'm not looking- please don't ask.

I guess that's it for now. I'll continue this with later posts, or as things come up. Since I'm new to this, I welcome suggestions, and I look forward to finally being a part of this world.
until next time, cheers!

first post check

This is to see if I can do this. Not exciting, but functional...
