Everybody's Bloggin' At Me, I Can't Hear A Word They're Sayin'....

So I find myself spending my 20,724,480th minute on the planet Earth setting up my first blog. It seems like the thing to do these days. I don't know if I have anything to say, but I'm now saying nothing to everyone on the face of the world, and that feels good.

I'm proud that my role model in this activity is my good buddy Logan Kopp, whom I very much look up to. He's an inspiration in many ways. Mostly because he's twelve years old.

Logan is the son of my trusted friend, Mike Kopp, a local political strategist and marketing consultant here in Nashville. Mike's just started working working for a company that is making forays into using blogs as communications tools. So when Logan's teachers at Abintra Middle School suggested that he edit the school newspaper, Logan's response was (and I'm paraphrasing here): "Paper schmaper. Let's do a blog."

When Mike told me about his newly created blog at www.evolvingbrains.com , I was duly impressed, and when I went to look it up and see what all the hubbub was about, I saw that I could comment on it. But to comment, I needed a Blogger account. To have a Blogger account, I needed a blog. So here it is.

If a twelve-year-old can do this, then by gum, so can I. I'm pushing 40 so hard it's going press charges, but you have to keep your youth somehow. So rather than cut my hair in the ubiquitous fauxhawk and getting a tattoo, I'm going to be cool like Logan, and create a blog.

Look for lots of posts about nothing particular. I promise to try to stay positive, 'coz nobody wants to listen to me gripe and moan all the time... although if I have to spend another $50 to fill my gas tank, I'm pretty sure I'm going to put a flaming bag of dog-poop on the back porch of the White House.

Peace to everybody.
