better out than in

those of you who know me in 'real' (ie. non-bloggy) life know that i have no shortage of topics to chat about. what's kind of funny (scary?) is that that i have a whole lot more stuff that never makes it past my lips - it just bumps around inside my upstairs bits, causing untold bruises and pain and maybe even this new blinding headache that has been pulsing for what, a month now?

so frankly, i'm trying this blog thing again. i've done it once before, but i got stuck. perhaps i will talk about it here at some later point, who knows. but what's different this time is my strict commitment to a self-imposed 'no pressure' policy. no self-flagellation about how funny i should be, how pedagogical (i can't honestly pull that off anyhow), how thought-provoking...my overarching theme for what gets written here is pretty simple: it's better out than in (well for me at least. for you? only time will tell!)
