This is why the Internet rocks. This is why weblogs kick ass. I keep reading articles in magazines and newspapers about how great weblogs are because they aren't edited, they don't have pesky people reading them and making sure they fit in with the message of a newspaper or whatever. These articles emphasize the large number of blogs that are devoted to politics--sites that break news at a grassroots level, that cover things the "big boys" are "scared" to cover.
Whatever. Every now and then I feel all inadequate about my blog. I mean, it's just me, yammering on. But the purpose of my blog isn't to reach the masses. It's so my friends who are scattered can have a vague idea of what's going on in my life. And you can search for my name and find this site. And then I'll read a comment from you, and be all happy. Because even though I haven't seen you in a few years, that doesn't mean I've forgotten about you. Particularly when a coworker asks why my email involves the word "dairyspice," leading to me launching into a story involving a couple of movie reviewers who called themselves Newsy Spice and Opinionated Spice.
*Hi, Dan!*
Current song in my head:
"Lonely Road" by Paul McCartney
