Friends, countrymen, citizens of the world: lend me your eyes and
thoughts . . . . .
Without further ado, here begins another blog, my blog. I'll start with
some comments about cultural productions, artifacts, works of art, and
go from there.
For the latest on pop culture and the latest celebrity goings-on,
check out my friend Trent's www.pinkisthenewblog.com.
After working with him for several years and enjoying his blog vicariously, I'm inspired to take the plunge, but in another direction . . . . . timeliness of information is not my aim; I'm more for an appreciation of the past, some of the present, and speculations about the future. Still, I might be tempted to weigh in with an opinion or two about Brangelina ;)

Ah, yes. Just what the world needs, another blog. Well, you know what they say: "Opinions are like assholes; everyone has one, and they all stink." But you are a man of the world whose posts on Brangelina, et al. will surely edify. Bring it on!
Turn on, write on, blog on!
